I never manually upgraded to 4.5.9587, it happened when Kobo scheduled it and I've had nothing but problems since. I've factory reset three times in the last few weeks to try and start afresh but now I've basicly given up on my H20.

I factory reset and connected it to Calibre (it always connects after a factory reset, but not always again) loaded all my fan fiction on the SD Card and that's all that's on it now. For book reading I'll stick to my kindles, my H20 is now relegated to a storage ereader for my fan fic, I won't be adding anymore so no need ever connect it to Calibre again. It's no use to me as anything else.

The problems I having been having are:-

Intermittent connection to Calibre, sometimes it works, other times it won't stay connected, or even connect at all. This is with a Mac, a W7 and a W10 pc.

Error connecting to Device message from Calibre when it does connect.

Importing after connection to the pc even when it wouldn't connect to Calibre.

On average it was connecting 1 out of every 5 times I tried. Factory resets only helped initially. I actually think I have a loose USB connection on the device as the connection issues started before the upgrade, but it's now definitely worse. I was sending Kepubs to the H20 via the kepub plug in.
