I think the problem is that the error at the end is the real reason that @zardoxnet does not want to connect. As they have not worked out how to fix this problem, they are now stating they don't want to connect to the Kobo device. I might be wrong about that (just ask my wife) but it seems a likely conclusion. If I am right, then I would suggest that @zardoxnet would search for the, unfortunately, many times this error has been discussed.

If I am wrong...

@zardoxnet, disable the KoboTouch driver on the Plugin page of the preferences. And, just in case, delete the KoboTouchExtended driver.

I think that @Sirtel's suggestion does not work as there is no way to add an individual Kobo device to the list of ignored devices. Or at least, I can't find one. I think it is only available for MTP connected devices.

And, if I was not going to use the device specific driver, I would use the User Defined USB driver to connect the device. Or "Connect for folder". Both of these let calibre see the device and the books on them and use the very good functions available for sending the books to the device. This is especially good for maintaining a subset of the books on the device as you can see what is on there now, delete them as needed and send the next batch to be read to the device. Of course, I would not do this because there are far to many good things about the device specific drivers for managing books on the devices. Especially, in my definitely prejudiced opinion, for Kobo devices.
