Sideloaded books not showing in Kobo
I am running the latest version of Calibre on an M3 iMac. I read using a Kobo Libra.
I usually sideload books using the Mac's Finder app. I use Calibre to store my library. Yesterday I sideloaded a couple of books and later in the day whilst the Kobo was still connected and charging I ran Calibre to add the same books to the Calibre library. The books I had sideloaded were not showing as 'on my device'. So I thought maybe I hadn't sideloaded them so added them using Calibre. They then showed as on my device. When the Kobo was fully charged I disconnected it and went to My Books and found the same two books twice in the list. Is there some reason why sideloaded books are not shown as on my device in Calibre, I thought they always used to be? |

They will if you ONLY transfer via Calibre.
If you send books outside Calibre, you might have to click on the Device instead of Library icon to see the extra books, which can be matched to library. Only use Finder to copy stuff not in Calibre, if you have stuff you don't want in Calibre. |

The books on device are populated by the Kobo Touch driver reading the Kobo database. The database is ONLY updated when the Kobo goes through the "processing stage" that occurs AFTER the device is disconnected Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |
