Help!!
I'm a newby... I have a Kobo Glo... I use it daily, 'cause I'm a sort of compulsive reader... Long story short: Kobo asked me to do an update (to version 3.15)... ok...everything seemed allright... The update deleted all my ebooks, but I had saved them long time ago with calibre.. After the updated, I noticed that, even if all my books have been deleted, all my "collections'names" remained untouched... I tried to delete them but... a couple of them seemed to be "undeletable"...
I've decided to restore the original state of my kobo... after that I tried to update it again... BOOM. Connection failed... Kobo is dead: I mean, I can't light it, I can't connect it to my pc... Even if I try to make it works pushing the small trigger on the bottom side (using a small needle) the green light blinks a couple of times, then the blue one... and that's all!
I've opened it, and tried to read the microsd on my pc... not possible, apparently I should format it (moreover, it is recognised as a 256mb card, not as a 4giga one).

What can I do? (Except for buying a new device)?
