BTW, the latest 4.38.23038 firmware ( 4.39.23027 for the Libra Colour, Clara Colour and Clara BW ) do close the database before a USB connect so that source of database corruption has been fixed. It's still possible to corrupt that database by not safely ejecting, etc. but the major cause is no longer with us.

The overall problem is that when a problem arises such as the Kobo database corruption, the person with the problem who is reporting this problem does so where there thing it may be appropriate even though it's not.
Downloading Kindle eBooks and Kobo database corruption both have nothing to do with calibre. It's like someone posted epub questions in the Sigil forum because they are using Sigil even though it's not a Sigil issue.
I do think the staff should be more aware of this and move the threads to where they really belong and the age of the thread should not matter when moving the thread.
