I tried everything in the book, updating the machine, Calibre and the reader, switching cables, and turning to disk utility. The computer and Calibre see the reader and the card, but there's a sign that there's comm problems with the device. I also booted up my old Windows PC and it worked great, no issues.
Both volumes mount, get to the desktop, Calibre sees them but is unable to write to them.
Since my library is on the cloud, I'll resort to that in the meantime, so if anyone has anything new, please post it.
I'm using a Kobo Glo, El Capitan v 10.11.6
This is the error report
calibre, version 2.69.0
ERROR: Error: Error en la comunicación con el dispositivo

CantOpenError: unable to open database file

CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file
That is usually a sign the device hasn't been mounted properly. Can you use finder to see the ".kobo" directory and the database file? That is "KoboReader.sqlite". And can you write to the device from the OS?
