Well, considering a bad calibre config was responsible in the first place…

I had configured it to use the Aura H2O software, as it didn't support Clara HD and I read it was the most similar.

I got an error on Calibre when trying to send more books that stated:
"WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details"
I went with a suggestion I found online and:
"select "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option."
(Bolding mine, for emphasis.)

You catch that? The calibre installation didn’t support their Clara HD, so they told calibre to pretend it was an Aura H2O instead. Instead of working, that munged the database, which bricked the device until it could be reset. Therefore, it makes complete sense to upgrade to a version of calibre which can properly handle their device.
