WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details

Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.
Device database version: 146.
Device firmware version: (4, 8, 10956)

The database should be the same as for the mark 6 devices, as the nickel binary has not changed. It is probably that Calibre does not yet support the latest version (but I don't use Calibre much so I am not completely sure). The "Attempt to support newer firmware" option should work fine though, as the database hasn't changed much.

Also, could you tell me what the hash and version number is in the settings so I can see if it's the same as the mark 6 version?
