If that didn't work, I'd log out of my Kobo, then relog back in which should reimport the sideloaded books. That method resets all my reading and awards stats, though, so I am loath to do it. Haha

If those methods did not fix my books from displaying, I'd do the following:
• If the books are purchased, but aren't showing up, I'd contact Kobo, have them remove the books from my account, then have them re-add them. This usually fixes the problem. I have had only one time when it didn't, and Kobo reimbursed me the book expense. I bought it again a month later with no issues.
• If the books are sideloaded, and they aren't corrupt or incompatible with my Kobo, then I'd factory reset. If *that* didn't fix things, I'd do a deep factory reset. I don't like it when a db corruption forces me to scrub my Kobo this deeply, but it always fixes whatever issue I couldn't fix the other ways. It's just a pain in the neck because you have to start from scratch.

hi Cootey
he had already played this joke on me and I solved it by restoring the device to factory settings. But then it started having this problem again: it would seem that over a certain number of books at some point it doesn't display them anymore (although it is not even a quarter full of the free space on the hard disk).
Do you know this is possible?
Obviously I would like to solve it without having to reset everything every time and thus lose all my statistics, etc.
The books are both purchased and downloaded from free sites (free books from rights).
thanks
