Regarding the the DRM issue, you said that 'The best solution for that is to logout on the device. It will create a new empty database, restart and then prompt you to log in again.' I am not sure that I follow this. I have never 'logged out' on the Kobo. Could you explain this to me? I know, I am an idiot, but hey, that is me. Thanks again for your help. |

Whoa! Did the log-out on the device and whipped out what little shelves I had!! The books were still there thankfully, but the shelves vanished in the blink of an eye! I sure am glad that I did not have 30 – 40 like I do on my Kindle!
Thanks for the directions Ken, now I know how to do it, and learning more everyday! |

Well, … I feel almost like I am back to square one. Things were going fairly well there for a day or two, but now I can not get any more books to load up. I have tried to reconfigure the device and still nothing. When I load them on, the processing data will be anywhere from 70-90% and then it stops.
Tried to load on six more last night and it got to 90%. I thought that I would just let it go, so I went to bed. Got up this morning, no books and the battery was dead. I have also reconverted the books, epub, kepub, and mobi. It just not want to take anything. I also tried once while it was processing to do a reset with a paperclip, (read that in a forum entry) it did not help. It just deleted the books that I was trying to add. I really do not want to do a factory reset as that would whip everything out and then I really would have to start over. I am trying to get it loaded up, as I have another trip in the next week, and will be gone a month. I there something else that I should try to do? Thanks in advance! |

davidfor, I went back through all the post here and followed your directions for a debug. I looked though it, but I have to say that it is Greek to me!

There are others who can go through how it is something wrong with your files and that you need to fix them so that they are up to the standards that Kobo will accept. I personally feel that the great high definition display of the AuraHD is better used with the alternative reading programs that are now available and can be launched from the Kobo "Home Page". These other programs will likely have no problem with your files.

Once you do the above, send some books and see how it goes. |

Thanks davidfor,
So I went through and rechecked and I did remove the KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED. In the Device Interface Plugins I currently have Kobo Reader Device Interface (2.1.3) and Kobo Touch (2.1.3) In Conversion Ouput Plugins, I have the KePub Output (2.2.5) and finally in the Store Plugins, I have Kobo (1.0.1) and I still can not add any more books. It gets hung up on processing content. Oh, I also have the modify epub tweek. So I experimented, and closed calibre and connected the Kobo to the computer. When I ejected it from the computer, again it started processing content and hung up. And I did not do anything but connect it and disconnect it. When I started to finally add books I did the configure device and I have epub, mobi and kepub selected. Some of my books I have converted to all three formats. You said, 'If you don't want that, you need to disable it, unisntall it or change the drivers configuration to not do the conversion.' Should I uninstall all of them and start over? Also, because I don't follow 'lingo' sometimes, I am not sure how to 'change the drivers to not do the conversion.' so not sure how to do this. Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks again! |

Wow!! Thanks Ken for the info/links for koreader! Even I, who am so not compter efficient was able to get it installed within the blink of an eye! And it works too! I am so happy that I am not going to have to do a factory reset! I was even able to get more books loaded on today in preps for my up coming trip in the next couple of days.
But when I go to the books listing, I still have some books that do not have the covers. Got any tricks for that too?! Thanks again! |

Another check to do is after sending the book and before disconnecting, look at the drive for the device. Check that the file for the book is there. If it isn't something went wrong. If it is, then disconnect and see if the processing screen gets displayed. The next step depends on that. Quote:

If the only things you want to change are the covers and the metadata, you can use the "Polish books" function or the "Modify ePub" plugin. Both will do these without doing the rest of the conversion if that isn't needed.

So yes, they will add the cover to the file, or replace the existing one. They attempt to change the existing cover page, but if it can't find one, a new page is added at the front for the cover. |

Generally, the hang on processing content is due to rather poor error handling when the contents of a file are not close enough to standards compliant. I had that happen a couple of times and that started me into the habit of using Sigil and epubcheck on all epubs before I load them into Calibre. Regards, David |
