So I have a question: 3 of the books I purchased this weekend would not let me download from my Kobo library on the web, however, all 3 books are showing up within the Kobo Desktop app.

I found the directory where the files resides however, there are all in the form of 8a386142-xxxxx-xxx in other words, gibberish, not titles.

Short of opening each and every file, is there a way I can pinpoint those 3 books so I might import them into Calibre?

Any help would be appreciated.
can you relate the time stamp of the files to the order in which they appear in your library?

Since we were talking about it earlier.
Just got 14 of my kobo receipts.

These were for books I used a 75% code on (as well as one full priced book I wanted). The purchase was made Friday night/early Saturday morning.

Still waiting for the receipts after the 90% code dropped.

Update: The rest of the receipts are dropping now.

I thought of that - however, since all the books were purchased this weekend and downloaded into the library today I would say no, that is not a viable way to figure out the titles of the books.

I really can't complain - out of numerous books I purchased this weekend, 3 have a problem. I have contacted Kobo, they are refunded my $$$ for one, the other two not sure of the outcome yet.

Thanks for this suggestion paola!

Anybody have missing 'download' buttons? 3 of the books I purchased have none. Is there a way to work around this?

Yes that's the problem with one of my books also, no download button.

The tally is done, the day is gone, the download complete.

I am left with 36 ebooks - surely worth close to $300, but only perhaps about $30 spent for the entire lot.

The sun now sets, the day complete, and restful repose is all that remains....

Hm. I just received 30 Kobo receipts, on top of the ones I already got from Paypal. I don't remember ever receiving a Kobo receipt before.

I've checked some randomly, and they all have the correct (discounted) price.

@Dr. Drib: 36 books? Isn't that a normal day-to-day purchase on these forums?

I had this happen once before, and I thought the download button appeared the next day. So far I've had no luck with these 3, tried signing in and out, different browsers, etc., but still nothing.

I've always received two receipts when using paypal with kobo. One from paypal, one from kobo.

-But they could do things differently in other countries.

My receipts are coming through as well now. Hubby bought 26 books and I got 27, total cost just under £35.

I have never had this happen, but I did try the same. Tried Firefox and Chrome, nothing so far.

Restful repose!?! I'm READING! Wow, what a deal! 45 books for about $60...one was $18.99 to start.

I can't hoard anymore.

My wishlist is actually empty, apart from a few books that were not couponable.
