Glowlight 4 with latest firmware "loses" all sideloaded books

We have a split e-reader family. I have a Kindle and my wife has a nook. Apprentice Alf has helped us to use purchased books on both devices.

The Glowlgiht 4 is giving me an odd problem. My wife told me the only books she's seeing on the nook are her B&N purchased content and of the sideloaded books.

So I plug it into Mac, load Calibre, and it shows all this content is loaded. I unplug the nook and there is no content.

I then plug it in, and sync over a book. When I unplug it, all the sideloaded books show up.

I plug it back in the Mac, confirm all the books are there with calibre, unplug it, and all the sideloaded books are gone.

Repeat the process, sync over one book and all the sideloaded books come back.

And all the sideloaded books have all their bookmarks, go straight to the last read page. None of the metadata is lost.

I feel like I should report this to nook support. But when I have reported issues with sideloading to them before and they almost always blow it off and won't open an incident.
