I'm worried that something very bad has happened to nearly three quarters of the books on my laptop. Calibre can't send them to my Kobo H2O and states they are not in a format the device supports.

When I try to view them in Calibre, I get the error "<book title> has no available formats"

I'm looking at a couple of thousand books so far. All of them purchased from very legitimate online bookstores, two of which have since gone out of business.

These books worked on the Kobo H2O that died from hardware problems and had to be replaced, but for some reason I just can't load them on the replacement reader. I haven't made any changes to Calbire (that I know of!). so I am both confused and very worried.

Um. Help, please?

EDIT to add:
I'm running Calibre 2.85.1.The Kobo H2O is running firmware 4.4.9344. When I navigate to the Calibre library on my computer and look for the books I can see the ePub files there and can open them. Much less worried now!
