KOBO SHOWS NO BOOKS

erny · 09-22-2015, 12:41 PM

HI
I BOUGHT THIS KOBO EREADER WIFI 4 MONTHS AGO,NEW.
GOOD FOR A WHILE, NOW THE DEVICE DOESN'T SHOW THE BOOKS ANYMORE...IT DOESN'T READ AN SD CARD EITHER. BOOKS ARE THERE:
I CAN SEE THEM WHEN I CONNECT THE DEVICE TO A COMPUTER.
POSSIBLY, PROBLEMS STARTED WHEN, AFTER CHARGING, I HAD TO UNPLUG
THE E READER WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CLICK ON "SAFELY REMOVING IT" BECAUSE IT JUST DESAPPEARED FROM THE SCREEN(I USE LINUX).
WHATEVER HELP APPRECIATED!

First shouting (All Caps) won't get you more help.

You should be able to go to Settings > Accounts and logout of your Kobo account. That should get you a rebuilding of your database.

Luck;
Ken

If this is the Kobo WiFi there have been many issues reported related to a failed f/w upgrade.

The best solution here is to request a restore image (see Kobo WiFi SD image)
