I open Calibre again today and the plugin is not installed anymore, and when I try to reinstall it, I get this error message:

Code:

ERRORE: Install plugin failed: A problem occurred while installing this plugin. This plugin will now be uninstalled. Please post the error message in details below into the forum thread for this plugin and restart calibre.

ImportError: cannot import name KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED
It shouldn't be related to me having updated Calibre, I think, as I did that way before my most recent successful conversion. Could this be related to me having installed the latest Kobo firmware (4.6.9960, Glo HD)?
so much in advance!
Firstly, this has nothing to do with the device firmware version. Plugin installation does not check the devices and if the device is not connected at the time, calibre has no knowledge of what devices you have.

There shouldn't be a problem with the driver. It is working for me under calibre 3.8.0 and I have seen no problems. This sort of error usually means the zip file for the plugin has been corrupted. Or someone has repackaged it incorrectly. What I would do is check in the calibre configuration directory and look for anything strange in the "plugins" directory. If there is a file for the driver. The file name is "KoboTouchExtended.zip". Do this with calibre not running.

If this doesn't fix it, run calibre in debug mode (right-click the preferences button) and do the install. Then close calibre and post the log that gets displayed. Hopefully that will show more about what is going on.
