Right... so I found The Kobo desktop app, and set it up. Plugged in the Kobo, and it informed me it was malformed, and to do a reset and plug it back in... So I did that, but it still tells me its malformed.

The link in my message indirectly leads to the same link mentioned in Peter's message. Essentially the database on your reader has been damaged and the instructions in my and Peter's link tells you how to replace the damaged database.

ETA: I have fixed the link in my earlier message.

Trying to re-sync with the Kobo desktop thing again, and am getting farther then I did before.

That might have done it! It wouldn't work on Calibre, but then Kobo popped up and registered it. Then Kobo transferred a couple books I had gotten for me a long time ago (that I don't know how to get from kobo to the sony) into it, and then Calibre seemed to kick in. Waiting on it to process and show me.

It worked! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it a lot. My bookworm is now all ready to go on her trip with her Dad tonight!

I'm sorry,, I don't know what kind of brain failure I had. I've been reading touch threads, and just slipped into that frame of mind.
