Calibre stopped supporting Windows 7 a while ago, so I have to use an older version. Because of that, I now get a error that Calibre doesn't recognize this new firmware that I was forced to install.

Done.

Firstly, calibre hasn't really stopped supporting Windows 7. The issue is that MS are stopping support for Windows 7 and there are some driver issue with the latest version of Qt. Because of this calibre might not work on some Windows 7 installations. There is discussion of this in the calibre forum. You should try calibre 4.2 and see if it works.

As to calibre support for the latest firmware, the rule is as always. Check the thread for the firmware version and see what the support statement is. Or just follow the instructions in the warning message.

Or since you dislike the new firmware rollback to the firmware you had, they should all be rather easy to find here, and then use patches to always ask if you want to upgrade which should be an available patch for most of the firmware versions the KA1 will support.

Then you’ll still be able to sync it’ll ask if you want to install an update you say no and you’re good to go.

But depending on how far back you want to go, you'll need to do a factory reset first. If the database has been changed in the new firmware and not in the firmware wante, then a factory reset needs to be done and unless a backup was done before the firmware update, goodby reading info and stats.

I had the same problem. My explanation on how to overcome this is in another thread.
