After resetting Kobo account, Calibre lists wishlisted books

ownedbycats · 11-29-2025, 10:27 AM

cently had a database glitch that wasn't fixed with restoring database. I logged out and logged in and fixed it. But now Calibre is picking up books on my wishlist, FILE MISSING: Title.

Heres steps I took:

1. On Kobo, log out and log back in.
2. Download all books.
3. Connect to Calibre.

If I delete metadata.calibre, they still come back. Show Recommendations/Archived Books/Previews all turned off.

Anything else? Deleting non-sideloaded books from Calibre has weird effects.

If going to suggest using only sideloads, not solution for me.

Did you happen to have enabled any of the 3 Show as on device options (Metadata tab of the KoboTouch configuration)?

Did you try a Repair your Kobo account from Settings => Device Information? A couple of people have reported that helped after restoring the database from a backup.

I have none of those options.

I tried repair account. This seemed to fix it!
