Bought the new Kobo Aura H20 Edition 2 because of the larger 8GB memory.
Sideloaded about 2000 books on it (I know, I know, treating it like an iPod classic for books instead of CDs...) and have 600MB free out of 6.7GB usable. I know that because the device mounts fine as a USB device and Windows tells me that - all in red.
However, when I fire up Calibre, it starts communicating with the device, saying "getting list of books on device" and after a few minutes it gives me an "unable to communicate with device" error. (Clipboard pasted below). Windows then tells me "USB device has a fault".
I then disconnect, reboot, Windows repairs the device - I've even deleted the file Calibre left on it and try again - but same thing happens. No joy in Calibre pulling the list of books on the device and displaying against the library on my PC.
I have the latest Calibre version, the Kobo says it's up to date.
Suggestions? Should I just start deleting books to see if there's a threshold of where it works? I'd hate to do that - this is why I bought the new device for the larger capacity. Thanks.
