Bought a couple of books on amazon, went through the motions with calibre and got them on the kobo.

Turned the kobo off, and all the books have disappeared

Plugged it into my pc, and the folder says all the books are there. So turned on Calibre and got this message:

calibre, version 0.9.12
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

database disk image is malformed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 81, in run

File "site-packages/calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 249, in books
DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed


I tried hitting the reset button and started again.

The books are all there on the kobo.

Then I turned the kobo off - all the books disappeared. Yet when I plug into the pc again, they are there in the folder.

I can't keep putting the kobo into the pc just to get the books up, that's ridiculous!
