Do you go back to the home-screen before connecting? There's a known bug current firmware where having a kepub open doesn't always close the database properly before USB export. There's other circumstances it can happen under though.

Yes I’m always on the Home Screen when I connect and I think I only use epubs. At least I convert to epubs and that’s what I send. I was on Firmware 4.38. I also wondered if this had anything to do with windows 11? My new pc which I got in November is W11, my problem started in December. I’m now using a W10 pc to resend all my books as I had to factory reset last night.

Since I started to turn off my Forma before connecting it, I've never had any corruption.

It's not an issue with Windows 11. I read ePub and I go back to the home screen before connecting to my calibre library. I use my laptop (running Windows 11) to connect. Some say the best thing to do is go to the home screen and then do a reboot. Use NickelMenu for that as it's easier then holding the power button until it reboots.

Yes, rebooting before connect should help. If you use NickelMenu
Code:
menu_item : main : Reboot Device : power : reboot |

If it then corrupts, just unzip your latest clean backup and copy the files back onto the .kobo subfolder on device. Quote:

Another thing Kobo Utilities does is it allows you to keep tracks of your reading positions. So if you do have to ever restore the database, you can restore your reading positions from the last time you plugged in your Kobo to calibre. NickelMenu makes some thing a lot easier to do such as a reboot and a second connection to the computer to update the metadata without having to unplug the USB cable and replug the cable. Code:

Same here. The other day, I accidentally opened a book instead of removing it. I immediately closed the book, went back to the home page, and removed/deleted it, but forgot to restart my Elipsa before connecting. I immediately got the database malformed error. I hadn't even turned a page!
