The only issue is that currently the Kobo Touch driver in 1.48 does not support the H2O. However, if you're prepared to run from source (ie both calibre 1.48 and source for 1.48) a few very simple changes can be made to the Kobo driver.

In the 1.48 source you need to edit calibre\src\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py

Around line 1364 you will see

Code:

    AURA_PRODUCT_ID     = [0x4203]
    AURA_HD_PRODUCT_ID  = [0x4193]
    GLO_PRODUCT_ID      = [0x4173]
    MINI_PRODUCT_ID     = [0x4183]
    TOUCH_PRODUCT_ID    = [0x4163]
    PRODUCT_ID          = AURA_PRODUCT_ID + AURA_HD_PRODUCT_ID + GLO_PRODUCT_ID + MINI_PRODUCT_ID + TOUCH_PRODUCT_ID

Add in a line for the Aura H2O

Code:

    AURA_H2O_PRODUCT_ID = [0x4213]

and change the PRODUCT_ID = line to

Code:

    PRODUCT_ID          = AURA_PRODUCT_ID + AURA_HD_PRODUCT_ID + AURA_H2O_PRODUCT_ID + GLO_PRODUCT_ID + MINI_PRODUCT_ID + TOUCH_PRODUCT_ID

Around line 2767 you will see

Code:

    def isAura(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.AURA_PRODUCT_ID
    def isAuraHD(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.AURA_HD_PRODUCT_ID
    def isGlo(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.GLO_PRODUCT_ID
    def isMini(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.MINI_PRODUCT_ID
    def isTouch(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.TOUCH_PRODUCT_ID

Add in

Code:

    def isAuraH2O(self):
        return self.detected_device.idProduct in self.AURA_H2O_PRODUCT_ID

Look for

Code:

    def cover_file_endings(self):
        return self.GLO_COVER_FILE_ENDINGS if self.isGlo() or self.isAura() else self.AURA_HD_COVER_FILE_ENDINGS if self.isAuraHD() else self.COVER_FILE_ENDINGS

Change this to

Code:

    def cover_file_endings(self):
        return self.GLO_COVER_FILE_ENDINGS if self.isGlo() or self.isAura() else self.AURA_HD_COVER_FILE_ENDINGS if self.isAuraHD() or self.isAuraH2O() else self.COVER_FILE_ENDINGS

Finally look for

Code:

    def set_device_name(self):
        device_name = self.gui_name
        if self.isAura():
            device_name = 'Kobo Aura'
        elif self.isAuraHD():
            device_name = 'Kobo Aura HD'
        elif self.isGlo():
            device_name = 'Kobo Glo'
        elif self.isMini():
            device_name = 'Kobo Mini'
        elif self.isTouch():
            device_name = 'Kobo Touch'
        self.__class__.gui_name = device_name
        return device_name

Change this to

Code:

    def set_device_name(self):
        device_name = self.gui_name
        if self.isAura():
            device_name = 'Kobo Aura'
        elif self.isAuraHD():
            device_name = 'Kobo Aura HD'
        elif self.isAuraH2O():
            device_name = 'Kobo Aura H2O'
        elif self.isGlo():
            device_name = 'Kobo Glo'
        elif self.isMini():
            device_name = 'Kobo Mini'
        elif self.isTouch():
            device_name = 'Kobo Touch'
        self.__class__.gui_name = device_name
        return device_name

If I've done it right https://www.dropbox.com/s/ocly93z9c5...atched.py?dl=0 should be a link to a patched version of the source. Of coruse it would have to be renamed to driver.py and placed in the correct source directory.

Or clone: https://github.com/eli-schwartz/cali...inXP-backports
Or download a static copy: https://github.com/eli-schwartz/cali...-backports.zip

These will always point to the latest version of whatever driver/stuff backports I added. If anything else is needed for any reason, I can add those too.
