That error should mean the database file cannot be found. The driver is looking for a file on the device called "KoboReader.sqlite". This is in the directory ".kobo" on the device. Can you see that file using the OS? I think you are using Windows, so can you see files on the device using explorer?

It might also happen if the device is somehow mounted read-only. Can you copy a file to the device using explorer?

Also, what version of Windows are you running? There have been some problems reported with Kobo devices with the recent Windows 10 preview versions. They don't match this report, but maybe MS has fixed some problems.
