I have been having strange problems ?since upgrading to the latest firmware, as books that I have previously read keep showing up as unread on the Desktop Application and the KT.

If I manually "read" some books in the desktop app, many of them become "unread" within minutes (the green READ" ribbon disappears). This is then transferred to the KT and my "read" books appear on the main KT screen yet again.

The only way around this that I have found seems to be to delete them from the I'm Reading page of my Kobo Library on their website. This seems to be very messy.

Sure, I can avoid using the desktop application, but it is also screwed up if I use Wireless as the fault seems to originate with the data received from the website.

Has anyone had a similar experience or can offer a work around????? I do use Calibre, but this seems to be quite separate from the known Calibre issues......

Thanks
John
