Pocketbook Verse not seeing books in library

Hello, this is going to be a long post, but I will try to be as brief as possible. Short version of the problem: my Pocketbook Verse is not seeing anything I upload to the library.

Long version: I purchased a pocketbook Verse, connected to my computer and deleted preloaded books. When i disconnected, deleled books still showed in the library as 'ghost entries' (they would not open, I couldn't do any operations, nothing). I poked around in the system files and in the explorer-3 db. I am a developer so i am used to looking under the hood. After some tinkering, the ghost entries were gone, but the file browser would not see anything I uploaded. Factory reset did not help either. I finally exchanged the device for an identical one. Thinking that my problems might stem from deleting stuff on the computer, I deleted the preloaded books through the UI. Everything went smoothly. I was even able to upload two ebooks and they showed up. Then I tried to upload 6 more and the library stopped seeing anything again. I installed KOReader and all of them show up on the device just fine, but the built in software refuses to see anything I upload.
Any ideas what could be happening and how to fix it? I don't understand, are those preloaded books loadbearing or something? The device is not unusable thanks to Koreader but it is pretty annoying that I can't get it to work
Thank you in advance for any suggestions
