Hi all. I think my Clara BW is toast. Calibre said that the database was corrupt. I was able to send books to it. But it didn’t show up in device view. Although I could read the books on the Clara.

FWIW, I use Calibre to eject. Then wait for the import to finish before disconnecting. The Clara BW’s last firmware update was June 2024.

So I did a manual reset. Then the standard Kobo wireless setup. (Thanks to @DNSB for the tip.)

Now the reader is unusable. Calibre sends books. They’re on the Kobo. (I checked Windows Explorer.) But nothing shows on the Clara.

I’m guessing it’s time for a new Kobo? Any advice on keeping a Clara BW alive?

Thanks a lot.
