Hello, my apologies if this has been asked before, I made a quick search but didn't see a problem that aligns with mine.

I bought a Kobo Clara HD about a week ago. Normally, I sideload a lot, and while this is my first ereader experience it's definitely not the first time I use ebooks. When I first bought it, I simply sent epub files from the file directory to the main directory and it worked, mostly. Some of my covers were slightly smaller, is all.

While researching how to fix that problem, I came across Calibre and set it up. I downloaded KoboExtended Touch plugin, too, as well as several other ones for utilities. I love Calibre so far.

The only issue I have with it is that when I send the files to my Kobo, it only shows up the first batch that I sent. When I unplug and send another set of books, my reader doesn't see them. I can see the files on the file directory just fine, they are there. All of them have the same (kepub.epub) extension. It doesn't matter which books I send; I checked this with a book. When I sent it first, my Kobo sees it, but after that it doesn't see it. I tried factory resetting a couple of times, and also deleting everything and restarting. Only after resets and restarts I can send new books.

How do I solve this problem? I don't want to start from scratch every time I get a new book.
