Hello, folks!

A few days ago, I upgraded to the 8.0.1 version of Calibre. After installation, I tried to sideload some books from Calibre to my Kobo (an Aura One, which is still going strong!). However, when I opened up my Kobo, the software didn't show the books as being available. And when I hooked my Kobo back up to Calibre, Calibre didn't see the books as being on the Kobo either. But if I opened up the Kobo in File Explorer, the new books were there, in their author folders, just like the books that the Kobo did recognize.

I tried restarting my computer, and the Kobo. I uninstalled Calibre and reinstalled it. I copied a book from my Kobo to my desktop and made sure that I could open the file. (I could.) I even factory reset the Kobo. Someone on Reddit suggested that I needed to fiddle with some of the settings since the upgrade was Kobo-specific, but nothing that I've done with those settings that seemed like it might help has done anything.

None of these things have allowed me to add any new books to my Kobo. Is there someone else who has this problem, or does anyone have an idea that might resolve the issue?
