FYI : I have the same error as HydroGuy, I have rebooted my Kobo Clara 2E, I am in 2.16.10 version of KoboUtilities (I've unchecked the "Check Kobo firmware updates Daily") and Calibre 6.25.0 (Portable) on Win10 Pro :

Use the following link to download Kobo firmware and manually install it.
https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html To manually install the firmware, put the contents of the firmware ZIP file in the .kobo directory on your Kobo and then it will install the firmware. |

Also, disable the firmware check in the Kobo Utilities > Customize Plugin > Devices > Firmware update options or the error will recur.
For those unaware, this plugin sadly no longer has an official maintainer, though community members have contributed patches. |

![]() ![]() Looks like it might be a new domain for the api.kobobooks.com My initial URL (above) was wrong. The PI has this one Last edited by theducks; 09-14-2023 at 02:58 PM. |

Problem: When using "Set Reader Font", the Get Configuration from Device button failed with a complaint about being unable to read the settings file.
Solution: Go to DeviceRoot\.kobo\Kobo\Kobo eReader.conf and open it in a text editor. Then look closer at the error message. In my case, there was apparently a duplicated LastLibrarySubFilter entry, so I just deleted all of those under [ApplicationPreferences] and that fixed it. |
