Device: Kobo Aura HD
database not supported in Calibre

Hi,

I'm using a Kobo Aura HD reader for 2 years with Calibre. Firmware was always set up to date and the reader runs the last official 3.19.5761 from months.

To day, Calibre (v2.74 x64) shows me an error during metadata update at device connection:
WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details

Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.
Device database version: 131.
Device firmware version: (3, 19, 5761)
I did not change the firmware version recently and all was working fine until now. If it's possible, I don't want to reset my reader now to fix this.

Any advice, please, to solve this problem ?

Regards,
Eric
