I'm sorry if i missed discussion of the question i have to ask; 213 pages is an awful lot to scan for answers!

So a lot of what's said here is over my head. I added **Kobo Utilities** plugins several years ago to my **Kobo Glo HD**. It worked perfectly and it definitely improved my ebook experience and calibre. Specifically the #Complete function giving a percentage read column.

Recently I updated the firmware (?) of my Kobo. At least, for some reason I tried a factory reset and immediately regretted doing so. The process was a nightmare.

I have tried finding the version of the software running on the Kobo but cannot find it.

Anyway, my problem is, while the Reading Progress of books prior to the Kobo firmware update remains as it was, I have no Reading Progress of books read since updating the Kobo.

I updated Calibre to the latest version last night. It's now 7.3.0.

I see under menu *Device > Metadata on device & advanced* there's a checkbox for *Attempt to support newer hardware*. Is this something I should try?

I also see in *Kobo Utilities* plugin options an option to backup the device database. Is this a good idea?

Can anyone give me advice on what I might try to get this working again? Thanks.
