This problem has resurfaced—I’m back to a supposedly DRM locked book.

Two things that are different since the db reset:

1. I reinstalled the nightmode mod
2. On plugging in to update the book, the reader didn’t appear as a USB device and it became completely unresponsive with a black screen. I had to reach for the paper clip.

I suppose no. 2 is what corrupted the db but I wonder if no. 1 could have contributed to the lock up. Looking at what it does, it doesn’t seem obvious how the mod could interact with a USB connection but maybe I have to investigate exactly what fmon does now. /.kobo/fmon/fmon.log.txt offers no clues.

[Edit: I had updated the book using Calibre just before this, but when I unplugged the version Kobo showed to me was not the one I had just supposedly updated.]
