Calibre does not recognize my Kobo Glow

[ducktape]

Hi all,

Just loaded and install 3.34 and now Calibre does not see my Kobo Glow and I get the following error :

=====================================

calibre, version 3.32.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

CorruptError: database disk image is malformed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 510, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 1863, in books
File "c:\t\t\apsw-j1n8vs\apsw-3.23.1-r1\src\cursor.c", line 236, in resetcursor
CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed

============================================

I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the old version but I am still getting the same error message.

Any help would be appreciated ,

Regards,

Ducktape

That means that the database on the device is corrupted. The fact that calibre 3.34 reported it is a coincidence. To fix this, you can restore a backup of the database if you have it, or do sign-out of the Kobo account on the device. This will then prompt you to sign in again and rebuild the database. Unfortunately, you will lose the reading status and annotations for any sideloaded books.
