I searched with Google rather than Forum search and found
"The database on the device is corrupt. Unless you have a backup you can use, the fix is sign out of the Kobo account on the device and then back in."

Any backup is likely ancient. Something I forgot about!
Thoughts:
A backup likely would be before I annotated/proofed that book anyway and I always import the annotations with Calibre Kobo Utilities, copy& paste as a text file and make a back up that immediately before starting another book.

Edit
I've logged out and logged in and Calibre is doing something. Collections all empty.

I looked at copy of database with DB browser for SQlite and did an export then import.
Except either it's too broken, or I need to edit the text as original is about 150M and "new" version about 92k!

Calibre now working with it, of course no notes.
