I picked up a used Kobo N289 in excellent condition and although it seems to be working and is fully charged and ready to go, I have tried unsuccessfully to load books on it. I tried the Kobo software and nothing seems to happen. I tried using Calibre (my personal choice of e-reader mgmt software) and it gives me an error communicating with device message;

"unable to open database file

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 290, in books
OperationalError: unable to open database file"

Any ideas? or should I give-up?
