Well, it didn't take me long. I've run into the corrupt database/deleted downloads issue again. Once the Elipsa is ejected from my Mac, it reimports ALL sideloaded books again, deletes all 242 purchased books, and resets the home screen. Repairing the account restores everything but the downloaded ebooks.

Setting my Elipsa up with Kobo Desktop worked fine.
Manually sideloading books by dragging and dropping in the Finder was fine.
Downloading through Overdrive was fine.
I ran into problems the moment I started to use Calibre to import books. Here's the error:

Code:
calibre, version 5.23.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

CorruptError: database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 89, in run
  File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 515, in _books
  File "calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 1974, in books
apsw.CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed
I could use some suggestions on how to troubleshoot and identify what is going wrong. I don't want to abandon Calibre and davidfor's plugin. They're too useful. Right now I'm trying to restore from a backup to a state where everything seemed to be working. If that doesn't work, I'll log out of my Elipsa, then log back in. Then factory reset as a last resort.
