Problem with Kobo
My Dad has an old Kobo, which has been working fine with Calibre since I bought it for him a few years ago. For some reason now we can't seem to upload any books.
This is the error message we get: calibre, version 0.9.32 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device database disk image is malformed Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 476, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 312, in books DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed Any idea what I can do about this? |

That error means the database on the device has been corrupted. The suggestions Kovid pointed to what you will need to check. But, I think for the older devices, you will need to do a factory reset.
