can't open book on calibre

Hey guys,

I'm trying to open/add to library a book with calibre but I keep getting this error message:


calibre, version 2.38.0
ERROR: Cannot add books: Failed to add some books, click "Show details" for more information.

Worker process crashed while executing job
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 103, in recv
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/__init__.py", line 19, in eintr_retry_call
EOFError

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for the super quick reply!

But the book works fine on the kobo ereader. Is that normal?
I can read it fine on the ereader but I would like to export it to my calibre's library.

That's unusual. The Kobo ereaders tend to be a lot fussier about books than calibre.

Are you trying to add a kepub downloaded from Kobo? If so, it probably won't work. And if the book has DRM, it definitely won't work. If it does not have DRM, you can try adding ".epub" as the extension and calibre should be able to add it. And if you have the kepub metadata reader plugin install, you can try ".kepub" as the extension.

If what you are trying to add books purchased from Kobo, there are better ways to do it. Most can be downloaded from the store as epubs. If not, install the Kobo desktop application and let it download the books. Then use the Obok plugin (part of Apprentice Alf's tools) to copy the books from the Kobo library to the calibre library.

Or have I got what you are doing completely wrong?

Yeah, it's a book from Kobo that I wanted to keep with my already organized library in Calibre. I thought it would be able to deal with it as long as I had the right plugin.

If it is a kepub on the device with DRM, there is no "right" plugin. Copying non-DRM protected kepubs is also blocked, but that's something I probably should revisit. I mentioned two ways to do this. I usually download the epub version from the Kobo store and add that to calibre.
