@ lealla, If I can offer any advice, resolve to manage every aspect of your Kobo library in Calibre including bookshelves with regular external backups, so restoration isn't a painful process. A healthy respect for the Kobo Utilities plugin by not pushing every button to see what it does is also advised. 
Best of luck on this. |
Thank you for the tips! I used some of the advice here on mobileread about automating the collections via the tag tools in Calibre, so although it will be time consuming to restore, it won't be too agonizing! As I said, I'm sad to lose my annotations, but not as sad as I am without my ereader right now!
However, I feel your pain because I used to have one of the older kindles and had spent hours sorting my books into groups, only to accidentally ruin everything when it became damaged. I try to be very careful now!
(I have also learned too not to be too button happy with plugins - especially after it took me ages to properly catalogue everything after my first gung-ho attempts!)
