Touch Kobo Touch 2.1.5 Newly sideloaded books don't appear in library even though processed

eewild · 10-30-2012, 11:16 AM

With the new firmware I've tried to add new books to my SD card and the Kobo apparently processes content but the books never appear in the library. I tried moving the books from the SD card to the actual Kobo. It spent 10 minutes processing and then there wasn't a single book on it. I also tried to send a book from Calibre, but the same thing happened.

Try turning off your reader and then turn it back on with the card in--I have noticed that sometimes when I put the card in, the reader doesn't "see" and process it unless I wake it up. If you don't see the spinning icon that tells you it's reading your card, then maybe your card is the problem. Mine works fine on the same version.

The rest of the books on the card that were there before the update can be seen. I also tried putting the books on the Kobo itself and none appeared.

Try a signout from the Account page on the device and then redo the setup. Sounds like a corrupted database (which will be dropped on the signout).

The sideloaded books will stay in the internal memory / SD card and should be readded after the setup has been completed.
