Kobo H20
I have a Kobo H2o and recently updated to the newest version of the software. I can connect the device to my computer but for some reason I cannot attach my device to Calibre. I am getting this error message:
calibre, version 2.21.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device file is encrypted or is not a database Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 503, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1680, in books DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Thanks in advance. Trice |

I thought I had it solved by upgrading the software. Now I am getting this error:
calibre, version 3.3.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device 'KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED' object has no attribute 'OPT_MODIFY_CSS' Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 88, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 592, in _upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 247, in upload_books AttributeError: 'KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED' object has no attribute 'OPT_MODIFY_CSS' Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Trice |

Your version of Calibre is tooo old. Kobo changed an option on the database which in turn needed a change in the Kobo device driver.

That version of Calibre is ancient - over 2 years old. Kobo made some changes to their database handling last year I think you may need to upgrade Calibre to something newer.
ETA: Too late, ninja'd again! ETA2: Update your KoboTouchExtended plugin as well. Last edited by jackie_w; 07-08-2017 at 04:56 PM. |

I believe you need 2.63.0 or above.

Thanks
Thanks to everyone that responded. I did update Calibre and can now sideload.
Now I see another issue. When I open a book and go into the fonts there is no more Advanced tab. Is that because of the update? Thanks again to each and every one that replied. Trice |

Did you reapply the patches with the patches for the version firmware you are running? Did you reinstall any custom hyphenation dictionaries or dictionaries?

I didn't have any custom hyphenation or dictionaries. The only thing I had were custom fonts.
Can you recommend the patches I should apply? Thanks for your help. Trice |

I finally figured that out and applied the patch to both devices. One odd thing, same versions of the upgrade and and patch to both devices but when I open the same book on each one displays properly and the other doesn't.
One book has the book title at the top with a footer and the other doesn't. Can't figure that one out, tried for about 45 minutes and gave up. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate everyone that took the time to respond and jig my memory. It was a long time ago that I patched the original Kobo. Trice |

The header at the top means that the book is in kepub format and not epub; the two formats use different rendering engines.
