Corrupt database?

My Aura HD has worked like a charm since I bought it just after the release.

Until now.

I transfered some books (with Calibre), ejected and removed the cable (exactly like I have done many, many times). But this time the screen looked different. When I entered the library it was empty!! After turning it off and on the books were there but most icons of the front page are "blank" and if I choose one it seems to hang on a blank page. Only thing I can do is turn it off.

When connecting to the computer, Calibre says "Error communicating with device".

database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 491, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1764, in books
DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

Besides a factory reset, what can I do to fix this?


Aura HD, 3.1.1. Calibre 1.17-64bit. extended-plugin.

(I tried to search here but get an error message "token expired"????)
