Unknown "Unread books" in home screen

eric_d · 06-28-2018, 07:18 AM

Anyone know what is causing this?
It suddenly appeared on my home screen ("Peter Lüttge 4 UNREAD BOOKS"). "Nothing fatal but sure is annoying. Clicking opens an empty page with the name "Peter Lüttge" on the top left.
Should I reset the device using a paper clip?

Kobo H20, software version 4.8.11073.

Unbelievable, I did a hard rest with paper clip, configured by logging into my account etc and the ghost of "Peter Lüttge" strikes again. It's back.
Wth.

Looks like they carry the Pocket symbol. What's in your pocket article list?

In file \.kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf I found :

Code:

LastLibrarySorter_author_filterByAuthor%28Peter%20L%FCttge%29=sortByNewest()

Deleting the line + restart does not help.

That's not how to find your Pocket articles. Menu > My Articles. Or getpocket.com on a logged-in computer.

Also, did your paperclip reset log you out of your Kobo account? It shouldn't do that, I don't think. It just forces a restart.

Thanks!! Didn't notice that. Yes I found old articles by a Peter Lüttge that I have read. I went to Pocket via browser and deleted them from the archive, did a refresh in the reader under "My Articles" and Restart. Solved!

Thank you very much!
