Lost all my loaded books and now I have to load them all back up again, trying to remember what I've read and not read.  After the reset and update to 3.11.0 I re-added kobo-nightmode_build13 and it works fine although there are no books on the device now. Long day ahead re-adding all my calibre books.
Hopefully this is just a one off thing for me but thought I'd throw it out there as a data point. Scared to upgrade my wife's now...
Is there a way for Calibre to remember what books were on the device and/or what is read/unread? |
really sorry to hear that - I updated last night, then added night mode (and corridor, and Coolreader), and had no problems at all. If I were you, I would make a copy of the .sqlite file in the .kobo directory every often, so that you can put it back and restore your reading status up to the date of that file.
There is probably a better way with the Kobo utilities Peter referred to, but I have stopped using Calibre recently, as I was getting too many "error communicating with the device", and I was fed up with having to rebuild the database every time (but the reader was still working fine).
