FINALLY SUCCESS! Thanks to the earlier suggestion I did a factory reset, then connected Kobo Aura HD to my PC, then using SQLLite Database Browser program I deleted the only entry the "users" table had after restore and issued the INSERT INTO user VALUES ("0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0","false") statement which created a "fake" user. Then I sideloaded FW 3.0.0, then after upgrade was finished I powered ereader down, inserted the microSD card and powered it up. After it read all books from the microSD card and came to the home screen I connected it to my PC and now Kobo is visible in Windows Explorer and Calibre can read Kobo database, export books, etc. But the whole experience of making the new Kobo Aura HD work as desired was not for the faint of heart. I dread to think what an average user would do. It took me, an IT professional with 25 years of experience, 3 days to make the damn thing work. And at the end I will not be able to purchase any books from Kobo (although I could care less - their loss).
