Yeah there is —*but it's not descriptive.

Just says there was a problem reading the device information or what-have-you and then show details doesn't give any real identification of an issue other than can't find a database — it doesn't tell me where it looked.

That's why I use the Database Compress or some other action that will give a more verbose error message.

Boo. Question —*do you or anyone know what calibre-related files ought to be on the SD card? The reason I ask is that my SD card has, aside from books and PDFs and comics:

Code:
koboExtStorage/
metadata.calibre
driveinfo.calibre
`driveinfo.calibre` contains

Code:
{"location_code": "main", "device_name": "Kobo Aura HD", "calibre_version": "2.43.0", "device_store_uuid": "(obfuscated)", "last_library_uuid": null, "date_last_connected": "2015-11-11T02:39:48.500774+00:00", "prefix": "/Volumes/KOBO16/"}

I don't know. I often change the books on the card. I also shove a lot of PDFs and CBR/CBZ graphic novels on there, and I do a daily Pocket digest and some other feeds as well —*current contents are ~11.5GB of files, visual representation is like:
_Volumes_KOBO16_-_20_55_45, on Flickr

`find . -type f | wc -l` says I've got 2546 files on the card. I don't know what is normal or abnormal for processing the files on a card but I'll time it for science right now.
