Unless I know exactly which books they are (difficult, with a big batch) the only solution seems to be to clear the whole memory or SD card, then re-upload every book ... which, 4 times out of 5, will crash somewhere during the process, usually near the end, requiring doing it over again, repeatedly.

I may just be blind, or not have RTFM'd enough (or just need more sleep), but is there some option I haven't spotted that will force the files that have already been transferred to be properly indexed and become visible after such a crash?
You say crash?? Is there an error message associated with this crash?

Not knowing anymore I would start fresh by doing the following:

1. Format internal memory via prs-300 menu.

2. Reformat the SD card with FAT32.

3. Check the DB integrity in Calibre by going to preferences - advanced.

4. Transfer the files again and keep your fingers crossed.

Good Luck!
