If you don't know what eBooks are missing, then how do you know there are any missing? Maybe you are remembering incorrectly. You know, the "I could have sworn I had more eBooks from back then. but unless you are sure, you cannot say there is anything missing.

Wrong. There is nothing amiss with my memory. The books were purchased from pre-Rakuten Kobo. As a matter of fact, many still reside (only) on my dust-collecting Aura HD.

If you can find out which eBooks are missing, go to Kobo and see if they still have them. Maybe Kobo no longer has them and is no longer able to offer them for download.

Sometime next week when I have time, I'm going to try the chat and see what Kobo can do to fix this. |

Please let us know the outcome. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I.

If not, this isn't any more evidence of anything. Just that you managed to sideload books on a device which let you sideload books. If so, then provide the evidence. |

Given that you stated that you still have those books on your Aura HD, you could very easily post the titles/authors to support your statements. Though since Rakuten purchased Kobo in 2011 and we are discussing ebooks from 2010 back, stating they were purchased from pre-Rakuten Kobo is a bit strange.

If I am not mistaken, I think some of the eBook in my library that don't link to Kobo listings are eBooks originally purchased from Sony.

For the record, my first book purchase from Kobo was March 2012. I can still see that on my devices and in the library. It isn't in my purchase history as I had an issue with my account and the only fix was to create a new one. Kobo transferred all the books, but they did not transfer the purchase history. I don't think I am missing anything. But, I've bought enough books over enough time and my recording of this was terrible in the first few years, that I probably can never be completely sure. |

Most of the books were transferred over from Sony to Kobo but there were some which did not transfer. One co-worker got the explanation for 2 of her 3 missing books that Sony no longer had the rights to them so they could not be transferred. Since she had them backed up, it wasn't a big deal.
