Could this depend on where the Kobo was purchased? I recently bought a new Libra 2 from a US vendor that sells a lot of new Kobos on both Amazon and Ebay - Blueproton. It came in what appeared to be new, sealed, factory packaging. I cannot find any trace of book previews on my Libra 2. Setting my Mac to display hidden (dot) files shows the .kobo/kepub/ directory to be completely empty. When I first received the Libra 2 I sideloaded one book via Calibre to test it, and that book is the only book file I can find on the device.
