Hello:

My name is Sherilyn and this is my first post. I have owned a Kobo since it was first available in Canada--I am a very satisfied customer.

I have always used Calibre and love it. However, after my Kobo is linked to my calibre library, I continually lose connections when I purchased a new computer, or my computer was sent away for repairs. Calibre will not recognize my files created with my former computer. Of course, I do not lose my original data. I have 1,000 plus ebooks in my Calibre library and what I lose is all the work I put into with adding tags, covers, series, metaldata, and so on.

This means that I always have to go back to square one and format the 1,000 plus ebooks again.

What am I doing wrong? I am sure others may have experienced this difficulty.

Thank you for your anticipated assistance.
