hi all

i´ve been following this and i am in the same situation as the previous users.
after had my clara hd stolen... i got clara 2e, but im "stuck" to an old mac running mojave, to which calibre 5.44 is the last option available right now.

1 - i am able to connect clara 2e using the calibre help/faq solution pointed out by GBM... but its not the same thing... (is it??)

2 - kepubify v04 via terminal works great, no issues... but it does takes some extra steps/time (by time i´m not mention the speed of the process > but stepping out of calibre pipeline).. but its the solution that works and the one that i have adopt for now…

3 - following @JSWolf last post, i think i found the old version you mentioned (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=12).
i edit it accordingly to the new specifications of clara 2e and Calibre detects Clara 2e and kobo utilities works.

The down side is the upload to device. It “forces” the creation (kepub output, i guess) of an extra file in calibre - kepub - for every master/original file in the library (as the original is epub).
Making it redundant, since kobo touch extend would make it on transfer, making it cleaner and unintrusive (as for double files/ double space now > epub+kepub).
but at least it recognizes clara 2e.

the only solution as i tested it just now is: kepubify + kobo utilities for any other maintenance (????)

Or am I just doing everything wrong???

Anyway I leave here the KoboTouch348, made by david forrester, modified with Clara 2e id and other stuff related to driver.py to work. + images

plz feel free to change it, improve it and/or just erase it (from the post) if you think I made a total mess (im not a coder, just trying to sort this major update (old calibre new kobo nightmare) out.
