Can't read Kobo database
My Forma updated to the 4.14.12777 firmware over the weekend. Now when I try to connect my Forma I get the following error:
calibre, version 3.42.0 WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo. Device database version: 152. Device firmware version: (4, 14, 12777) |

This is what you get when you paste the warning ("WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported") into this forum's search box:

Thank you. After several attempts I finally found the "attempt to support newer firmware" box. Hopefully Calibre will play nicely with my Forma tonight.

Actually, it is on the Kobo Utilities button, if you have that installed. Or at least accessing the driver configuration is and that is where the option in question is.
