Touch Statistics of books finished always returns to 29

cmolinap · 11-07-2016, 11:56 AM

Hi,

Kobo Touch N905C
Firmware 3.19.5761
Language: spanish

When I finished reading the book 30, finished books counter advanced to 30. Shortly thereafter, it returned to 29.

The same thing happened when I finished reading the book 31, 32, 33, etc. The counter advances to 30 and then returns to the 29.

Someone has experienced something similar? Anyone has any suggestion to the respect?

Thanks in advance.

Is this just the stats tile or the stats page? Or does the stats tile increment and go back down when you open the stats page? Or does the stats change after restarting the device? What's happening with the time read?

Unfortunately, this is probably due to a corrupt database on the device. My guess is that the internal counter for the number of books finished is being updated when the books is finished. But, the database isn't being updated properly. Then, when the database is reread (opening the stats page, restarting the device), it is effectively reading an old copy from when there were only 29 books finished.

You can check the database using an SQLite database manager. Or if you are a calibre user, my Kobo Utilities plugin has a database check function. If it is a corrupt database, if you have a recent backup of the database, you can restore that. Otherwise, you will need to sign out of the device. This will create a new database when you sign in again. You will lose the reading status and stats for sideloaded books, but anything from Kobo should sync.

Hi davidfor,

Thanks for your comments. I decided sign out mi reader and start with a fresh database. I lost my reading stats, but it doesn't matter.

But, I wonder where I can find your app for Calibre (I manage my reader with Calibre).

Thanks again.
