@alibaba808: As the error says, the database on the device is corrupt. And in a bad way. If you have a recent backup of the database, you can restore that. Otherwise, you will need to rebuild the database. To do that, sign out of the Kobo account on the device. You will then be taken through the setup process. Which will import all sideloaded books. Unfortunately, you will lose the reading status and annotations for the sideloaded books.
