I turned on the wifi this morning in order that Kobo update my firmware, hoping my "database corrupted" would improve, but no.

After the update, I checked my parameters, connected Elipsa to my PC and to Calibre. I updated all the the metadata, and the modified reading positions since yesterday evening (when I had finished resolving the preceding corrupted DB), checked the DB and saved it, disconnected Elipsa and closed Calibre. But when Elipsa opened the DB was obviously corrupted: no book recognized while the PC saw them all

I decided not to apply the painful process described here.

I disconnected / reconnected from my Kobo account, and instead of suppressing the DB on Elipsa before copying the latest saved DB, I renamed it ...old, and imported the latest DB before suppressing the old.
And I had nothing to do of all the the above process. All the books were there, on the reader and on Calibre. Affiliate, dictionaries and custom dictionaries, screensavers, mywords, parameters were ok.

I hope I won't have to redo it again and again, but as such it is a quick fix.

I also decided to review those PDFs I had reserved for Elipsa because they were impossible to read even on the Forma, beginning with those I called elsewhere bad PDFs. The brother with whom I'm holidaying built for me a sort of script for my Adobe Acrobat pro, and I'm starting to run them trough it. It has the added advantage or reducing their weight: the heaviest, with which I began, dropped from 437 to 275 Mo.
