I use USB to connect to Calibre, which is what I've always done with my other Kobos.

I have Calibre on my PC, and I connect my Kobo to the PC once Calibre is open.

I just plug in, wait for the Connect /Cancel on either of my Kobo's? A few ticks later (varies on Windows), and it becomes a Windows drive, a bit later, Calibre discovers it and starts its inventory scan (and On device column appears). 1) Window or your OS must recognize and mount the device so it will be in the file browser before anything else. Check your file manager for a 'Kobo' 2) Once the OS recognizes, Open Preferences in Calibre and see if you have a Ignored Devices icon (will not even be there if none), If there is, see if it (wrongly) lists the Kobo: correct that |

A very old Calibre might not recognise a newer Kobo?

Yes. If you have enabled a PIN (Settings => Energy saving and privacy = PIN LOCK), it will be asked for the PIN before showing the cancel/connect popup if the Kobo is not awake when you connect it to your computer.

I don't have a PIN on my Kobo. I'm wondering whether my problems with the collections (or shelves) are due to Calibre or the Kobo firmware.
I've reinstalled an earlier version of the firmware, but it hasn't changed anything, so I've come to the conclusion (perhaps wrongly) that the problem is with Calibre. |

As far as Calibre is concerned, I think the configuration is fine, since it worked with my previous Kobo (it was a "Libra 2").
And apparently I'm not the only Kobo Elipsa 2e owner who has these problems. |

Can you tell me how to attach the images you're asking me for? I'm not very good with computers.
In the meantime, I'll tell you how the first dialog box is configured: 1 Collections: checked 2 Collection columns: tags 3 Collection template: unchecked 4 create collections: ticked 5 delete empty shelves: ticked 6 Load covers: ticked As for the second image, mine is identical to yours |
