Kobo Keeps Syncing Closed Books Back to Open
Hey there folks,
My Kobo Reader keeps syncing books back to 'I'm Reading' status after I have finished them. Two books in particular keep going back to open. Any idea how I can resolve this? Thanks! Ian |

Mine does the same thing - I emailed Kobo about it and the response I got was, basically, the only way to stop that from happening is to move completed books to the "Deleted" folder in your account on the Kobo website. Apparently you can keep them in there for 30 days without losing them forever.
That seems kind of unfair (forcing me to choose between paying for a book and then losing it for good OR going through a time-consuming and clutter-making re-sync every time I update my library). Haven't heard back yet. |

Mine does it too. The desktop app re-sync's all of my books that I've purchased from them and I have to "finish" the book to get off the list. Kobo's response to me was that it shouldn't be happening and that they were hoping that whenever they released an update that it would be fixed.

That's encouraging! I've "deleted" a couple books I didn't love and won't be depressed to lose, just to try it out - but this is good to know. Thanks!

Also, I've found any new books I put on the Kobo end up in my 'I'm Reading list'. So I've always got about 60 books sitting in that list.

I guess the assumption was that we would only add books that we were going to read right away. Silly assumptions. |

I have a bit of a different problem. I deleted all my books from the "I'm Reading" section on the website, but now I want to re-read one of those books and can't get it back on to the reader. The only option (I think) is to download the epub and use ADE, unfortunately I've never used ADE and don't know what to do with it. Is there any way to get the books back into the "I'm reading" list using kobo's website?

Possible work around?
Hi - I had this problem - but fixed it after checking that the date / time settings on the Kobo. After resetting these to the correct settings, the syncing worked fine.

I've been experiencing this for a long time and your solution worked for me. Just in case, I set the Kobo a minute ahead of my computer. I suspect adjusting for when Daylight Savings Time goes off in the Fall is needed--or just set the device to DST +1 minute and you should be good all year. Thanks.

Another thing to note is that Free books do not show up in the "Purchased" section so those do go to the delete area and disappear after a certain time.. As long as the free book continues to exist at the Kobo site you can always select it again later.
