I have been reading about problems with Calibre and Kobo Touch to try and find a solution to my problem. I have tried many of the suggestions with no result. This week Calibre stopped 'seeing' my Kobo Touch. This was after I started receiving the message about the Kobo database and that I may need to do a factory reset - which many have said only works for a short while anyway.

Anyway, this afternoon I decided to try plugging my Kobo in to my other computer which has an old version of Calibre (0.8.49) and lo and behold everything works fine. So I am planning to revert to this version of Calibre on my laptop as well and stop installing any further Calibre upgrades until I read somewhere that everything is working again.

Now, it may be that this will only be a temporary fix, but I have my fingers crossed! I manage all my books via Calibre, constantly swapping books in and out of my Kobo, so this was a major incident for me.

Has anyone else tried this?
