Calibre doesn't "see" new kobo clara bw
Hello.
My nearly new kobo clara bw is not recognized by calibre (on two different PCs).
At the same time windows 10 recognized it as a drive.
Anyone with the same problem? What could could i try?

Too old. You need a newer version. Update your calibre.

Due to QT dropping support for 32 bit CPUs, calibre for Windows became a 64 bit only product. This happens with calibre 6.0 in mid-2022.

There might be \n option; however you'll be limited in functionality (no KoboTouchExtended drivers for instance).

Try the plugin found in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...1&postcount=60

Great! Installed the plugin and "magically" my device appeared on calibre.
At the moment i don't know which functionalities could have been lost but in case i'll face the (minor) problem at the moment.
Thanks to everybody!!!
