Aura getting 'Unable to Communicate' message
My Aura keeps getting an "unable to communicate with device" message when I connect to my Mac. Calibre reads the contents of the Aura and an icon for it appears on the Mac's home screen.

This is the error report:

calibre, version 1.43.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 86, in run
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 490, in _books
File "site-packages/calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 1765, in books
DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

I recently updated Calibre but it's awhile since the Aura updated. This has never happened in Calibre before. Does anyone know what's going on?
