Kobo Connecting Error
I received a "new" Kobo Mini today and have been trying it out. For the second time I've gotten the following error (after a Factory Reset and completely re-setting up the Kobo).
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 1859, in books File "src/cursor.c", line 236, in resetcursor CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed Both times this has happened after I sent a book over from Calibre. The first time I was able to send the same one over several times before receiving this error. The second time only once. Now that I think about it, the book I'm sending over was set up in Sony PRS-300 format the last time before the reset (because it looked it so awful when I tried Kobo format, which I had experimented with) – and then I sent the book in PRS-300 format the first time AFTER the reset. Could that be the issue? (Just occurred to me as I was typing. The book looks much nicer in Sony format.) Thanks for any pointers. EDIT: Next time I tried hooking up the Mini, it worked fine – so it looks like it's just going to be touchy – maybe I need to delay disconnecting it? Last edited by rcentros; 03-19-2018 at 09:57 PM.

Also, I don't know what you mean by the "Sony format". These should just be epubs. There might be some style changes that work better on one device than on others, but there shouldn't be anything that causes a problem like you saw. |

By "format" I meant "output profile." When I used the Kobo output profile (there's nothing specific for Kobo Mini) it produced some odd elements (like wide spaces between italicized lines). The Sony PRS-300 output profile looks almost the same on the Kobo Mini as it does on Sony 300 and 350 (which I like). Now that the Mini (eventually) worked without a reset, I'm guessing that the output profile isn't the issue. |

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks.
