Hi All,

Is Kobo n647 still useable and supported ? I just got one off ebay and I cannot seem to get it to load books with calibre. This is my first time with an ebook reader or using calibre.

I have been looking through these forums but have not been able to find what I am looking for.

I downloaded Calibre for my Mac OS Monterey and it does recognize the Kobo, firmware 1.9.11.
But When I go to transfer books or synch it in anyway, or update metadata here are the errors I get:



CantOpenError: unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 88, in run
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 540, in _books

File "calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 186, in device_database_connection
apsw.CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file

update meta
'list' object has no attribute 'get_collections'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 88, in run

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get_collections'



I keep seeing posts about Flashing the SD image, which I don't know what it means,but wondering if I need to do that as well? I don't have an external SD card right now in it, but could get one.
Any advice or pointing to other threads or resources would be appreciated.
Thank you!
