Hello,
Since Callibre's last update it fails to communicate with my Kobo Aura (1st edition), that is, it doesn't show the content of my Kobo's memory. Does anyone know why? I have activated the plugin voor my reader and the Kobo is not listed among ignored readers.

calibre, version 5.35.0
FOUT: Fout: Fout bij communicatie met toestel

'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 2: invalid start byte

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 512, in _books
File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1987, in books
