Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2024, in books
apsw.CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed"

Anybody can tell me what does this mean?!
It means exactly what it said. The database on the device is corrupt and unreadable. To recover from that, you will need to either restore a backup of the database or sign out of your Kobo account on the device and sign back in. That will recreate the database and import any sideloaded books again. Unfortunately, you will lose the reading status and annotations for these books.
