Hi there, I bought my Kobo Aura One two years ago, and it works so far so good, and I bought the new released Kobo Forma about one week ago.
I read a lots of ebooks on Kobo Aura One, the data of my books is all on Kobo Aura One, and my new Kobo Forma is empty.
After I login into my account which I'm using on Kobo Aura One on Kobo Forma and sync, the reading hours, count of read books, and awards are all gone, why is that?
The most important thing is, because of some reason, the Kobo Store is unavailable in my country, so all my books are sideloaded onto Kobo Aura One using Calibre, I organize of my books using Calibre (manage metadata, sync reading progress, send books to Kobo device) , and I got a lot of reading data on old Kobo Aura One which including
1. reading status (percentage of reading progress)
2. Activity (reading hours, count of read, and awards)
3. Highlight, bookmarks and Annotation of each book
I tried two ways:
1. Use Calibre to resend all my books into the new Kobo Forma, but it seems all the reading data I listed will be lost
2. Connect both Kobo Aura One and Kobo Forma my my computer, copy the KoboReader.sqlite file of my Kobo Aura One to Kobo Forma directory，and copy all the books on Kobo Aura One to Kobo Forma directly, but after this Kobo Forma will pop up a window "Critical Error: any highlights, notes, or reading progress since your last sync on xx/xx/xxxx will be lost" and once connect my Kobo Forma to Calibre, Calibre cannot recognize the files both in Calibre and in Kobo Forma, and I cannot sync reading progress anymore.
I have read links about database:

So for users that own multiple Kobo models, how do you manage the reading data from old model to new model?
