Touch Missing Books Downloaded From ADE

beti484 · 07-06-2015, 02:46 AM

Hi

I have recently been having issues with my Kobo Touch, I noticed initially that the Home page had reverted to an older version and the current book I was reading (which was a download from my library using Abode Digital Editions) kept going back to page 1 when the book was closed.

These issues were a nuisance but not a big problem but today after successfully downloading 2 new books from the library into ADE they are not showing on my Kobo. I have completed this process countless times so I know I am doing everything correctly so would appreciate any help in solving these problems.

Thank you.

Those symptoms of a corrupt database on the device. The status of books is stored in the database, and if it is corrupted, reading the database does not give the expected results. And any updates do not get stored properly. Hence the reading position is forgotten and any books added do not get put into the database during the processing. If you use calibre, it will probably give an error when trying to access the device.

Unfortunately, the fix is to sign out of your Kobo account on the device. This will replace the current database with an empty one and take you through the setup steps. After logging in, the sideloaded books will be reprocessed. You will also need to reauthorise the device using ADE.
