I knew this was an old and unsupported model, but I never imagined I wouldn't be able to manually transfer files onto it.  I also tried Calibre with all the Kobo plugins, but it can't access my Kobo's database. There's no .kobo folder in it. Still digging through old forums here but haven't found an answer that works for me yet. |
You need to use the Calibre software with these older Kobo models since they're no longer supported by Rakuten. They will not connect to Kobo Desktop.
Go to Menu then down to Settings. What does it have for Software version?
If it's 1.9.12 then you don't need to do anything with it. If it's not that version and you want the last version then you need to look up how to take the reader apart, remove the card, make a backup, then get the image from DNSB and write it to the card.
Before you do that, if you have books on it you want to keep, use Calibre to back them up.
You can take the opportunity to upgrade to a larger internal card. A faster one (with a U rating) might make the thing work a bit quicker.
