Calibre doesn't detect Kobo ereader any more

jimr · 11-25-2010, 08:40 PM

Hi all

I hadn't used Calibre for awhile, but needed to convert some ebooks. It no longer detects my Kobo ereader. It's an original, Kobo running firmware 1.4 and I'm using Calibre v.7.29. Has anyone got some ideas? I'd hate to be without Calibre!!

I ran the device detection debug and here's what I got:

Version: 0.7.29
USB devices on system:
[u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid026d&rev00a3',

Ok...I figured it out. Seems the Kobo device driver wasn't enabled in the preference-plugin-device interface section. Thanks.
