When I connected the device to my computer, a sync error appears in the Kobo software. I suspect that may be why I can't access the ebooks. It was working when I went to bed last night. I left it plugged in to charge and this morning I can't open any of the books.

I had disabled the sync because I prefer to manually add items to the book through Calibre and I did turn off the wi-fi. I only received the device last night so I haven't had much time learn how to use it. I didn't think I had time to break it already.

Maybe, something went wrong with the database when I connected and used Calibre to add ebooks to the device?
Sounds like your database got corrupted somewhere. Did you PROPERLY eject the device before unplugging it from your computer (I believe there is an eject function in Calibre or else via Windows)? Not doing so will often mess up a Kobo database. There are a lot of things (i.e. USB keys) that don't require you to eject them anymore, so a lot of people just assume you don't need to with the Kobo.
