Calibre can't see new Kobo Clara 2E
Hello,
I have an existing Kobo Glo and use Calibre. Currently running Calibre 4.23 as when I previously updated Calibre I lost the ability to download books from Council library system. This version works fine with my Glo. Today I have bought Kobo Clara 2E, when I connect Clara to computer Calibre does not show the "Send books to Device" icon! Please help and explain like I'm 5 what I should do. Thank you Last edited by Phoenixx; 03-28-2024 at 12:05 AM. Reason: Add info |

The problem is that the 4.23 calibre does not contain the USB device ID for the Clara 2E

Thank you Peter, so if I update to the latest version it will work? Does that version supported downloading from library system?
Thank you |

If it does not support downloading from the library, you can also install a portable version of Calibre and use each version of the program for whatever you need.

Without knowing anything about the Council Library system I can't say
However part of upgrading calibre includes not only updating the officially supported plugins, but also any unofficial ones like deDRM for Adobe protected content, which many libraries use. Just be aware we can't give detailed help on that topic, but there are a myriad threads discussing it here at MobileReads Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

Probably 7.70 for calibre.
You might want to update ADE but leave that for later. For DeDRM, I would suggest downloading DeDRM 10.0.9 from NoDRM's Github site. Any plugins that you have installed and need updating will show up in the Updates popup at the bottom of calibre's main window. You might want to add the ACSM/deACSM plugin to allow you to allow calibre to download the epub from the .ascm file. If you are not running a 64-bit version of calibre 4.23, you should uninstall calibre (this will not affect your library or settings) before installing 7.7.0. |

The procedure won't change. You will connect your Kobo Glo to your computer over a USB connection and be able to transfer books and metadata the same as you do now. Your new Clara 2E will be no different in terms of the connection.

If you wait for Kobo color support in calibre 6, you'll be waiting for a very long time if not forever. Last edited by JSWolf; 05-02-2024 at 08:32 AM. |
