Kobo not showing any books

voldor · 08-05-2014, 06:46 AM

Hello i just hard reseted my kobo Glo and then updated it through kobo desktop to 3.3.0 firmware version.

Then i copied/pasted my previous books on the main memory and restarted the device.

Unfortunately the only visible book i see now is the one i freely downloaded years ago with the fnac server and which is restored each time automatically.

All the other ones (that were visible before the hard reset) are never visible even after the update screen at kobo restart (updating the internal DB of the Kobo)

What should i do ? Is the 3.5.0 firmware will fix this ? Is there any other firmware/hack i shoudl try ?

many thanks for your help

Voldor.

Try logging out of your Kobo account on the reader and then log back in. This just happened to me when setting up a new spare Glo last week and that fixed it.

One question is where did you copy/paste the sideloaded books? I'd suggest creating a new directory in the root of the the main memory and placing them there. If they were placed in one of the existing directories with a name starting with a ".", they would be ignored while placing them in the root of the main memory is a bit messy.
