As it happens, I store those and downloaded pdf's on the sd card. If I go into KOReader and open a pdf from the sdcard and then exit, the books from my sd card no longer appear in the native software. If I go back to KOReader, the sdcard still appears. To get it to reappear in the Kobo library, I have to reboot. Is this a common problem and is there a workaround? I'm using firmware 3.5.0
Thanks.

The Kobo software is very dependent on its Database and has to process the files into that database for it to find them. You may want to just have PDFs on the external SD card, since you won't be using Nickel on them. You can put them in a hidden folder, caliber can send to a folder, even a hidden folder. By doing that they are not processed by Nickel.
The recent Kobo FW was reported to correct the different way Kobo's software treated the to cards, but you might want to keep the ebooks you want to read in Nickel, on the internal card (the device Main drive, in calibre). I am sure someone using calibre and their Kobo device the way you do, could provide a better reply. You could check out the Caliber Forum and the Kobo Developer's corner.
