I already deleted the metadata.db file and then restored the database. To no avail. Any help is much appreciated.

[edit] I also did a reset to the factory settings on my device. Didn't work, again the error.
The database on your Kobo is corrupt. Unless you have a recent database backup, you will need to log out and log back in basically starting over.
