I live off-grid and have to ration my data useage and screen time overall, so trying to troubleshoot has been difficult. 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. |
What I have experienced with this model Kobo is it flat out does not work with some USB ports. On my desktop I have the built in motherboard ports and some add in cards. I haven't done a comprehensive test to figure out which ports it will and will not work with, and the brand/model of controller and/or hub chips.
If Calibre can't detect it, try a different port. If it works with none of your ports, get a USB card or try a hub (preferably a powered one) between your computer and the Kobo.
