Not unless that is what you want to do

I've got that msg when tried to open "FILE MISSING" that shows on list of books on dev. (101
= 100 preloaded + 1 that I tried to remove). I did calibre delete that file, ok, only 100 left , but after reopening calibre it shows up again.
"bunch of symbols" really symbols, not normal path, here is full msg:
I have to agree with the diagnosis of "bunch of symbols". I don't know why it is showing the path like that.

ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E:\\\xd0\x9b\xd1\x83\xd0\xba\xd1\x8c\xd1\x8f\xd0 \xbd\xd0\xb5\xd0\xbd\xd0\xba\xd0\xbe \xd0\xa1\xd0\xb5\xd1\x80\xd0\xb3\xd0\xb5\xd0\xb9 (\xd0\x90\xd0\xbd\xd1\x82\xd0\xbe\xd0\xbb\xd0\xbe\ xd0\xb3\xd0\xb8\xd1\x8f 1992-2007 FB2)\\\xd0\x94\xd0\xbe\xd0\xb7\xd0\xbe\xd1\x80\xd1 \x8b\\Lukyan26.txt'

I cannot find that txt file on device from computer(or do not know how).
That book was in .txt format which goes to Documents on device, right? At least it's not in the book list. I did not create Doc folder before, what place txt file can go?
Kobo has 2 the same names in Docs, can't open - no file.

E-RDR opens preloaded books, but after turned off/on opens book on the very first pg, not pg I stopped reading. Also can't "close" book after last pd. I guess all those things happened from corrupted DB.
Is that device really useless....? :-(((( I like it for its simplicity
May be it was virus in that book?
That tells me the database is corrupt. I don't know the original Kobo very well. I think you will need to do a factory reset to fix this. That should restore the factory firmware to the device and need you to do the set-up again. That should fix it. If you do the factory reset and it doesn't fix things, it probably means the device is failing and will need to be replaced.
