0.9.27 + Kobo Glo

calibre, version 0.9.27
WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details

Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.

Just curious if this is known :-)

If you need anything from me, please let me know.

Kobo Glo:

Software Version: 2.5.0 (c988b71a4d, 4/12/13)

Works just fine once you tell it to attempt to support newer firmware. No factory reset was required here.

Once there is a new version of Calibre released, that message will go away as the Kobo driver has been updated to know about the newest firmware. I would think a new Calibre will be released this coming Friday as a release did not happen this past Friday.
