Need help, can't get my Kobo to read any of my books
I'm at the point right now where I feel like taking my Kobo back :P my husband bought me a Kobo Wifi last night, and my parents who have one (well my father has one, and my mum has the Kobo touch) gave me there books and the Calibre program, and said all they have to do is right click it and send it over to the reader. Well when I open Calibre it doesn't find the reader at all, when I ran the debug it said there was no possible devices. So I started seaching and searched everywhere online last night and found a few people who had the same problem, and they found a work around by connecting the Kobo folder itself... so I tried that, I went to Connect/Share and connected the Folder Kobo, and it will now let me transfer the books over, but when you try to read them they all come out just a bunch of jumbled up letters, although you can read it on the computer fine, and works on my parents Kobo I think almost all of the books are .Mobi's so I'm not sure if maybe I need to convert them to something else to make them readable, but my parents who have Kobo's I don't think had to so I'm really lost as to why I can't read any of the books
This is what comes up under debug Version: 0.8.14 USB devices on system: [u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid3b34&rev0005', u'usb\\root_hub20&vid8086&pid3b3c&rev0005', u'usb\\vid_04f2&pid_b1d8&rev_5563', u'usb\\vid_04f2&pid_b1d8&rev_5563&mi_00', u'usb\\vid_2237&pid_4165&rev_0110', u'usb\\vid_8087&pid_0020&rev_0000', u'usb\\vid_8087&pid_0020&rev_0000'] Drives detected: (0) E:\ ~ \\?\STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_KOBO&PROD_ EREADER&REV_0110#KBN647B1B4B01073&0#{53F56307-B6BF-11D0-94F2-00A0C91EFB8B}#{53F5630D-B6BF-11D0-94F2-00A0C91EFB8B} Available plugins: ADAM ALEX ALURATEK_COLOR ANDROID ARCHOS7O AVANT AZBOOKA BAMBOOK BLACKBERRY BOEYE_BDX BOEYE_BEX BOOQ BOOX COBY COOL_ER CYBOOK DBOOK E52 E71X EB511 EB600 EBK52 ECLICTO EDGE EEEREADER ELONEX ESLICK FOLDER_DEVICE_FOR_CONFIG GEMEI GER2 HANLINV3 HANLINV5 ILIAD INVESBOOK IPAPYRUS IREXDR1000 IREXDR800 IRIVER_STORY ITALICA ITUNES JETBOOK JETBOOK_MINI KINDLE KINDLE2 KINDLE_DX KOBO LIBREAIR LUMIREAD MENTOR MIBUK MOOVYBOOK N516 N770 N810 NEWSMY NEXTBOOK NOOK NOOK_COLOR NUUT2 ORIZON PALMPRE PDNOVEL PDNOVEL_KOBO PICO POCKETBOOK301 POCKETBOOK360 POCKETBOOK360P POCKETBOOK602 POCKETBOOK701 PRS505 README S60 SHINEBOOK SNE SOVOS SPECTRA STASH SUNSTECH_EB700 SWEEX TECLAST_K3 THEBOOK TREKSTOR USER_DEFINED VELOCITYMICRO WEXLER Looking for devices...

Thanks for the help, so I updated the program, and it now can find my ereder, but all my books still come out as nothing other then jumbled up letters. I've tried a few books and there all the same. I have an .epub verision and a .mobi verision and both come out the same way.
