i dont have a mini so i cannot test but, i would try skipping the setup, if the device is old, kobo might not have blocked it.
the device does show up in the explorer as a storage device, right?

No, it doesn't show up in Explorer - presumably because it's stuck at the beginning of the setup process and so doesn't give me the usual message about having detected a computer and inviting me to connect the e-reader to it.
I'd be very happy to skip the setup if that'd allow me to load books from Calibre (or directly through Windows Explorer) and then read them. That'd be a fine, if not perfect, solution.
I took a quick look at the site t which you linked and fell at the first hurdle. It wanted me to install DB Browser for SQLite, but the link was broken. I think I've found it elsewhere, and will now try to see if I can follow the instructions given. At this stage, I'm not terribly confident, given that the device isn't even visible in Explorer. I'll report back when I've given it a go. (Even the "Easier option for average users" looks plenty complicated to me!)
Thank you for your reply.
