Hi there!

Yesterday I got my Kobo Libra 2 and was very excited to get some manga on it. So eventually I got to the Calibre part, followed a tutorial and everything seemed to go fine... Until... I uploaded the files to my Device and shit hit the fan. I'd mostly blame myself for this because I probably didn’t look more into the configuration with Kobo Utilities etc. I’m completely new to all this so it could also be I didn’t do something else right, but anyway, Calibre showed no status anymore on the job and my hasty self ejected the Kobo on my PC and afterwards physically ejected the cable. Not so smart! Now my Kobo (still after one night of sleeping) is stuck at the "Connected and charged" screen. I did all the usual resets but nothing worked. Eventually I opened up the back, and long story short, I removed the micro SD, and eventually lost that one and it’s nowhere to be found. Now my last option is to get a Kobo image on a new SD, and then try to my PC and hopefully reset it that way.

I’m out of luck and answers... Anyone got help
or tips?

Thank you in advance!
