New Kobo showing Series for books I don't have

tretneo · 08-11-2024, 12:27 PM

I just received a new Kobo Clara Colour, set it up in SideloadedMode and transferred my book library from Calibre. This is the same library I have on my Kobo Libra 2, by the way. Everything is working great except I have these random Series for books I don't have in my library and I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

Does anyone have any idea how these got there and how I can get rid of them?

Note: These do not show up on my Libra 2 and never have.

There are some books that appear in sideloaded mode which appear to be test books which normally disappear during setup. You should be able to remove them either from the calibre GUI looking at books on the device or using the Kobo ereader's GUI.

Thanks for confirming the source of these books. For whatever reason I wasn't able to actually see the books in either Calibre or the Kobo UI so I did a factory reset, did the normal registration and then logged out, enabled sideloaded mode and they are gone. Not sure which of those steps did the trick but it's all good now. Thanks again!
