Just to add to this in case others are having a similar problem:

I bought a book from Kobo a couple of days ago, which downloaded to my Kobo library. I hitched up my KT to the computer, but it wouldn't download the new book. No problem, I thought, I'll get the second copy that I put onto Calibre. However when I tried to link up to Calibre I got a message "Error communicating with device. Database disk image is malformed."

It did the same thing a couple of times more, so I did a Factory Reset and cleared everything off. Then it all worked perfectly, and my Kobo is much lighter with only 30 or so books on it instead of about 400! It also linked up as normal with Calibre.

By the way, the KT is still on 2.5.2. I'm not sure whether it should be on a higher version than this, but as it's working, I'm not going to fiddle with it.
