I've been using KOReader Sync for the last several months. Due to various reasons, I ended up doing a hard reset on my Kobo Libra Color and had sync working fine. From the KOReader I'd select the menu option to connect to Calibre, it would, and it would sync reading progress.

Because I'm one of those "fix it til its broke" kinda guys, I thought I try out a bluetooth fob for page flipping. Someone had written up a guide on using the 8bitDo, so that was the one I got and tried to get working. I eventually gave up, as I never could get the 8bitdo connected properly.

I don't know if my attempts with the page flipper are the cause of this, but now I notice that sync is no longer syncing and the connection to Calibre is not quite right. It _seems_ like the Kobo connects, based on messages on the Kobo, but the device does not show up in Calibre, I never see book display change to show books on the device, and the progress sync does not update progress.

Looking at crash.log I don't see anything obvious (to me). Can you give any hints on how to debug this? I' was going to upload my crash.log but it comes back as "invalid file"???
