Alright so I found a version of the zipped 1.8 on google, and followed the directions to the letter. No change.

Literally wiping the damn thing clean, and pasting fresh files into it, and somehow not only does my database still reappear, but all the BOOKS I deleted do too! WHAT IS GOING ON!?

It's like deleting System32 and rebooting, and Windows somehow magically reconstructs it all!

EDIT: the plot thickens... the "Kobo" folder within the .kobo folder shows a Modified date of 12/31/2000, and so does the devices.salt.conf file... Maybe I have a hardware problem, the cmos clock or whatever equivalent kobo has?
