Thanks very much David (DNSB), mbovenka and ownedbycats. Excellent!!
I went to Home > More > Settings > Accounts > Kobo, where my user ID (email) was given beside 'sign out'. This I clicked, which caused Forma to blank out while it did its bit.
Then, I had to start Forma from scratch by choosing my language and choose whether I wanted to proceed via WiFi or not.

I chose not to, so I had to connect to the PC via USB, go to Kobo.com and download the Kobo Desktop. This asked that I sign in, which I did.

This triggered some configuring of the Forma, installation of dictionaries, etc, and asked whether I wanted to Sync (upload purchased books) or Eject the Forma. I chose the latter.

Perfect !!
Books previously installed were still present and they now appeared in Calibre in the 'On Device' column. Excellent.

Thanks again folks.
