Hi davidfor,
Thank you for the additional context and clarifications. I should have been clearer that I was referring to Kobo Touch.

I came across the following tip (but don't have the link) which seems to solve the problem (hopefully without introducing risks). Under "preferences/ change calibre behavior/ advanced/ plugins/ Device Interface Plugins/ Kobo Reader Device Interface (1.0.13) by Timothy Legge" place a check beside "attempt to support newer firmware". The default appears to be to not have a check mark beside that item (or maybe the upgrade to Calibre 0.8.60 removes the checkmark?).

For users who do not use the new KoboT bookshelf feature, it seems to be the best thing to do if they are going to still use Calibre to load books onto Kobo, because even with the new warning message Calibre is loading files onto the KoboT, but just not providing confirmation on what books are already on the KoboT.
