Finding my ebook
I think it's great that when you stop reading a book it is there on the Kobo screen to go back to
However when I add more books to my Kobo they fill the screen instead, and sometimes I can't remember the title of my half read book to search for it lol Any suggestions please? |

Where did you buy the books, polli? From Kobo? Only books you bought at the kobobooks.com website will sync with your reader. The rest must be sideloaded.

Also, if there are Kobo books that you bought that have gone missing from your reader and the desktop, you can get them back. Go to the library section of the Kobo website.
Look at the purchased list. If you bookmark the books there they will then go back into the I'm Reading section and will sync with the desktop and your Touch. |

Good, polli. That is what I was talking about. If you want them in the desktop app do the following:

No, but if you have bookmarks on your device, these new bookmarks will replace yours. You can avoid that by getting your app set up the way I mentioned, then open your books on your device, create a new bookmark on each of your open books, and then do your sync. If you want to be extra sure about all of this, write down where your bookmarks should be, go to those pages in the desktop app, and then sync.
Polli, you might find a glance through the user manual useful, from time to time. http://www.kobobooks.com/touch_user_guides I assume you have located the blue bookmark button by now. |
