Exclamation Calibre sees Kobo but not books
I have an old Kobo (before the Touch) that I have used with Calibre in the past. I am trying to put some books on right now for my son to use and I get this error:

Quote:
calibre, version 0.9.29
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 470, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 312, in books
DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
At first it was showing up normally and I tried to send a few books to it, epubs that I'd converted from another format. Calibre just hung for a bit, then went back to the same place in the library and it appeared nothing had transferred to the Kobo. Tried it again and got the error. Have done this several times (after rebooting Kobo, Calibre, etc) and am still getting the error, though it does show the device, just not what is on it. But, oddly enough, the books did at some point transfer and are now on the Kobo.

Of the list that Kovid pointed to, I think the most likely is a corrupt database on the device. You will probably need to do a factory reset on it to recover.
