I don't know, I suppose?

I guess that could be it, maybe that's why that Windows 11 warning popped up that my Kobo device/driver needed fixing.

I never really had that specific issue pop up before until I tried to figure out Calibre and KoboTouchExtended where I'd end up with the "disk image malformed" etc which I googled and results were that maybe the Calibre library itself is in need of repair or it can simply be fixed by just logging in and out of your kobo account on the device and connecting to the pc again (which I did and it seemed to have helped? briefly?) but then afterwards, being connected to Calibre, Calibre would show me that some books weren't on the device when they were on the device itself OR books that were not on the device anymore were shown as being on device etc.

Then I know at some point, I connected my device and Calibre recognized it but I got a pop up in Calibre that was saying like "books with same titles as the following already exist in Calibre. select which books you want added anyway?" with the book being in EPUB format.

And I'm not entirely sure how that exactly happened, because I wasn't adding any books to the Library at all, all my files on my KLC are kepubs and that literally popped up upon device connection.

Anyway, I feel like at this point this is so Calibre heavy that I might try to ask in the Calibre subforum for proper set up of Calibre and KTE if I ever wanna bother with that again. I don't wanna go too off-topic here with Calibre here.

My dad has a KLC that he doesn't really use so his device is as pure as it gets, so I might connect his to my PC and visually see if anything's different in the file explorer or sideload some books and see how his device behaves.

At this point, I feel kinda dumb and maybe I hallucinated the whole problem?
