Ciao Davidfor
I was thinking the same:
- books problems: i normally use calibre to manage and i have no issue with the books on the second Kobo (Glo HD) i use. Anyway now i did the hard reset the kobo is empty and there is not connection yet.
- database issue: with hard reset you need to recreate it but the problem still persist.
One hour ago, during another attempt for a moment the PC saw the Kobo and i was able to see the contemt of the sd with the pc (on my pc it is drive F

and the label was Koboreader (or something like that). But then it vanish again and I see the drive F: present but i can't open it (it told me that the drive is not ready). I can only dismount it
