Hi Davidfor,

first thank you for your quick feedback.

I already try different stuff: use different usb, change cable, hard reset (at least a couple), reset of the usb setup on pc, antivirus and firewall fresh reinstall. I reboot so often in this period that i move automatically the mouse to win-power-reboot .

There is not way to have the Kobo seen from the pc.

I decided to test it on another pc (win 10 up to dated on both pcs) and there was no issue at all (kobo seen and connection working). I reloaded the books from this pc but even if the memory was occupied (300 MB around for 400 books), there is nothing to read on the Kobo, you can see only the cover and then you have the reading counter to 100%.

This behaviour drives me to think that the SD should be corrupted.

So i'ld like to see if changing the SD I will be able to use the Kobo again but i'd like to not get the image from the current SD.

Any further suggestion?
The issues with the reading the books suggest that either the books have problems, or the database on the device is corrupt. For the former, you need to check the books somehow. Epubcheck, or the validation in either Sigil or the calibre editor will tell you if there is a problem.

If it is a database issue, you will need to sign out of the Kobo account on the device. This will generate a new database when you sign in and reload your books. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset.

If this continues to happen, then it might be a failing SD card. In that case, the image will help, but I don't think you are at that point yet.
