No connection possible to Kobo Auro HD
Suddenly, after connecting to my Kobo reader, I got the following error

Code:
Error communicating with device

calibre, version 2.35.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 503, in _books
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1780, in books
DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
I just upgraded to calibre version 2.35 so I have no clue whether this is Kobo or calibre or both related.

The Kobo reader behaved thereafter strange (no books present anymore), but a reset fixed that and all books seem to be present and accessible again.
However calibre still refuses to connect with the above message.

Any pointers about this? Can calibre be involved? Or should just a complete Kobo factory reset be able to fix this?
