Windows XP, Glo 2.50 Calibre 0.9.27
There is something odd since the 2.50 update - what I am now finding is that with the extended driver in place once Calibre detects the Glo it initially communicates with it sufficiently to read the metadata on the device and show just what books are on it. If you then try to transfer books it fails.
I did have "Support Newer Versions" selected.
The nasty bit though is that once it has done that if you try to use file manager to connect to the USB drives (E & F in my case) it can't do so, although the drives are still visible. Checking in Device Manager shows the two Kobo 2.50 Devices "working correctly" but if you try to populate the Volume information it cannot recognise the drive format. Everything behaved properly until I started Calibre and it detected the Glo.
With the Kobo drivers disabled in Calibre it is possible to Connect/Share to the USB drives on the Glo without breaking anything.
I've restarted both XP and the Kobo a couple of times but still no improvement.
This may mean something to davidfor or jgoguen - I can't call it a bug as I'm using 2.50. which wasn't what the drivers were intended for.
