is there a way to find out how many books are on my ereader

My question is exactly this: how can I find out how many books there are on my Kobo Sage? Can't find it in the My Books section.

Don't you have this on your "My Book Section"?

Besides the way suggested by hatuluang, there is one other way: Go to Settings / Manage Downlads. There you find a similar information.

Actually, there are 2 more places where you can observe the amount of books on your e-reader:
  1. On your home-page (below My Books)
  2. On the settings page, Manage Downloads

Tap Filter below Books Tab in "My Books" main section (which is not Home unless SideloadedMode=true) and it lists:
All
Unread
Reading
Finished.

The currently selected filter has a ./ (tick) in front. My old retired libra has
All 1765
Unread 1595
Reading 22
Finished 148


Which is since the last signout-signin

Mount Kobo. Make sure hidden files/folder/directories are shown
Edit a copy of
.kobo/Kobo/Kobo ereader.conf
(Save original on yoou computer as ereader.conf.txt)
You need to use and editor that does UNIX line endings if using windows, such as Notepad++
Don't use a wordprocessor.
Don't sign out.

When you eject Home is replaced by My Books. Discover is replaced by Activity. Sync for other Kobos or Kobo apps is disabled, but Firmware and dictionary syncs still work.
Add under [ApplicationPreferences]
Make sure it's not there already set to false!

FW updates are OK, but a Factory reset and maybe signout might set it to false.
A Sign-in doesn't remove it but sets it to false.
