I had a useless device after an upgrade from Kobo that my unit could not see books anymore. Here are the steps I took to fix it.

David sent a 2gb working N647 image.
Used a 120gb sd card on usb cable with adapter
Running linux mint 20.3, I used the USB writer from mint to load image onto the sd card
I then started gparted and extended the partition that holds the books to maximize the book holding capacity. I now have 119gb of storage and a faster unit because of the faster sd card.
Very happy with the end result.

Thank-you David
