I have a Kobo Aura One, Calibre 5.44 running on a Windows 11 64bit computer. I will say I think i have the newest version of Kobo, but I don't know another way to check without looking at my Koko (which I can't do). I had a few new books to put on, so converted them in Calibre, plugged in my Kobo and hit the button to connect to the computer when it popped up. Well, this was about 15 minutes ago and it has still not showed up on my Calibre screen. The Device tab is not showing, nor the two columns on the left that will show which books are on my Kobo and which ones are on my computer.
I am stumped and don't know what to do. On my Kobo it says it is connected and don't forget to eject my eReader before unplugging. But there is nowhere on Calibre to eject it because it is not showing. So, what's a girl to do?
Oh, I just got an error message. Does this mean that I can disconnect my Kobo? Thanks for your help!
