When I next started up KOReader, I discovered that Kobo Utilities no longer recognizes it. "no reading statuses were found that need updating". I also sent some books to the device while connected via KOReader, and although the green "on device" tick appeared after the send was finished, when I next logged into Calibre from Nickel, the books did not show as "on device", although a check of file explorer showed them as present. When I then sent them again, they did not turn up as duplicates in Calibre, and a check of file explorer confirms only one copy of each is on the device.
Sorry for the long-winded intro, but that's the situation as it stands. My question is: Was the brief interlude of full Kobo Utilities functionality via KOReader an aberration, or is it supposed to work? If the latter, any suggestions on why it no longer does?

Unless you use Nickel to import the books you sent into the KoboReader.sqlite database, calibre using the KoboTouch/Extended driver will not see them as being on the device. When you initially send the books, calibre will give that green check mark but if you close and re-open calibre, they will be gone.
If you are only going to use KOReader, using the KoboUtilities and KoboTouch/Extended driver is about as useful as roller skates in a rice paddy.
