Ah, now I can't read annotations. The error appears when I click on Kobo Utilities too.
I'm sure it WAS working, but it isn't now.

Removing the Kobo Utilities plug in means the Kobo Libra connects and shows installed books without error.
But then there are no lovely utilities. I'll try reinstalling the plug in and test with H2O original and the Touch N905c later, maybe its a Libra issue.
