I must preface this by saying that I have an older version of Calibre (3.48) because my computer OS is Win 7.
If this should be in the Calibre section, feel free to move it.
Earlier, I was loading some books from Calibre onto my Libra 2 which is now running firmware version 4.32.19501. I'd just put some metadata and blurb onto the books. But this message popped up:
Quote:
Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.
Device database version: 168.
Device firmware version: (4, 32, 19501)

Not wanting to do a factory reset of the Libra I just right clicked the device icon, selected Configure this Device and then Attempt to Support Newer Firmware. I was then asked to restart Calibre, which I did.
However, on sending another book to my Libra 2, the "Calibre doesn't support new database" message popped up again.
Despite this, the books were successfully sent to the Libra 2.
Should I be concerned? I'm not very techie and don't fully understand the implications of the message.
I haven't yet patched the new firmware, but I'm considering rolling back to the patched 4.30 which in many ways I prefered.
