Or are you saying that from a certain point (namely since you tried to extract annotations from a book stored on the external sd), you cannot see the content of the external sd with any file manager or similar program, except if you have caliber running?

In both cases, I have no idea what could have happened. But I doubt that I understand correctly what you are saying.
Yes, the device connects properly to PC through USB.

1. I can see the contents of main memory and sd card in the windows explorer.

2. I can also connect to Calibre, which properly reads main/sd card, and can transfer files to any of them

3. When I use KT annotation extractor, I can load the database > from Kobo reader, but I can seen only few files stored on main memory, but it does not show files on the sd card, thus I can not extract annotations from the books stored on sd card.

My sd card has about 300 books on it, and most of them are annotated. Earlier I could see the list of annotated books from main memory as well as sd card.


This recent image above is showing only the books stored in main memory. No books from sd card.

PS: One more little thing, if it is relevant, I am getting this message while connecting the device to the PC, for a few seconds:


But after that, the windows explorer normally opens the sd card window.

That is, if I decide to move to the 32GB external uSD card from a 16GB, I remove the current card, copy all the files to the new card and then insert it into the Kobo, the card will be processed and all the ebooks on it treated as new.
No, I have not changed the sd card. It is the same old 32 GB card. If I copy the contents of this card on my pc, then format the card and re-copy the contents on it and insert it in my device, will I lose all the annotations? In fact, I do not want to mess up with my annotations and highlights, which may be of importance to me.
