			ISBN read for sideloaded books? This could be very worrying. What does it exactly do? If it reads ISBN metadata and sends to Kobo *to provide us with extra information*, I will be stripping all ISBN data tonight.

			The bug saying I had 7' left to read last night in a sideloaded kepub (to the next chapter in fact - mentioned elsewhere) seems corrected : I now have 3.1 hours left, which seems more like it.

			So what evidence do you have that any information about your sideloaded books is sent to Kobo?

			I don't have any evidence, I am asking.

			It displays the ISBN in the book details page. I have been using Calibre's KoboUtilities plugin to add the ISBN and publisher info for my sideloaded books to the database until now to get that feature.

			Sorry, I misread you post. I don't remember seeing any evidence that Kobo send information about sideloaded books to their servers. And I believe Kobo have stated that privacy issues are one of the reasons they don't sync sideloaded books.
