I fussed with it for quite a while, going so far as to reset my Aura to factory setting, deleting all books and starting over but still I got the error - even on books I'd previously (before the firmware upgrade) loaded with no problem. Not on every book but most of them. I finally switched the Calibre driver back the "main" Kobo driver and no error. Books that would not load, did. So I switched back to the extended driver and I get the error. So whatever it is, it's something between the extended driver and the newer firmware on the Aura.
I watched here to see if anyone else would report it but I haven't seen it (or I missed it). So could it be something that I'm doing? |
Sorry, I completely forgot about this. The attached beta should solve the problem with DRM protected books. They will be uploaded to the device with no changes made to them. Please test and report how it goes.
