So apparently downloading the new Calibre has broken my books, my database, everything.

Getting the same error:

calibre, version 7.22.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

CorruptError: database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 112, in run
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 566, in _books
File "calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 2075, in books
File "src/cursor.c", line 240, in resetcursor
apsw.CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed
What I do to be safe is I use calibre with Kobo Utilities. I have Kobo Utilities backup the database. So if it was to become corrupt for some reason, I can restore the latest backup. I only once had a problem that was user error.

Are you making sure you properly eject your Kobo? Before I connect to the computer, I go to the home screen. I then connect. When I eject, I wait until I am back at the home screen after the importing is done (If I am adding books).

I agree 100% with @chaley. I've had a Kobo since The end of November 2014 and I find them to be highly reliable.
