yeah i don't know where that came from. Anyway, i blitzed my install and database and let calibre plod it's way through a few tens thousands books to regenerate db. Kobo Utils plugin now works. I've lost all my previous 'bookmarks' but hey.

It may have been my preference for portable apps. I read somewhere that i could download the latest calibre MSI installer and point it at my portable install and it would know what to do. Maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, I found I had settings files all over the place including in AppData folder; so obviously it was no longer portable.

I had a period of head scratching having read that I should click on Library icon to regenerate database. Nowhere does it mention that that particular function is not available while your device is connected in Calibre. FWIW.

If I were to make a suggestion, I would separate ebook metadata completely from Calibre settings.

Thanks for your time guys (girls).
