Device books not listed
Hello,
I'm experiencing issue when connecting my device to my computer. My specs:
My calibre plugins:
My scenario:
I have tried enabling/disabling the KoboTouch plugin as I read that in another thread, but no change. Has anyone experienced this issue? Can anyone help? Thanks. |

Update:
I ran a device database check and it turns out the database was "malformed". I signed out of kobo account and then back in, it seems to have fixed the issue, for now... |

If you use Kobo Utilities, you can have it backup the database when you connect your Kobo to your Calibre library. That would mean all you'd have to do if this ever happens again is copy the last backed up database over the corrupt database.

Hello,
Turns out I plugged it back in again = list is empty again. I ran a database check and everything is OK. I'm out of ideas. |

I still have this error... Can this be linked to my specific kobo model ?
What is the most pain-free model to use with calibre? |

The basic firmware is the same on all Kobo models running that firmware version.
Where are you sending the kepubs to on your Clara HD? What is the template you are using in the KoboTouch driver? I've attached an image of the first configuration page for the KT driver as I have it configured. When you mount the device on your computer, can you see the kepub file in Finder? What version of calibre are you running? You mention 7.7.1 but that is not a calibre version (6.25 is currently the latest version and it should run on your machine). The only reason for disabling the KoboTouch driver would be if you were using the KoboTouchExtended driver which will convert epub to kepub as they are sent to your Kobo. |

Are you properly ejecting your Kobo from your calibre library? Do you wait until you are at the home (after the importing is done) screen before unplugging the USB cable? |

I'm having the same issue with a brand new Libra 2. Sends fine from calibre and shows as "On Device" until I re-plug the Libra back in. Then it has no idea what books are on the Libra.
I am using KOReader v2023.06.01 installed via the one-click method with this if that makes a difference. Last edited by Gurgling2791; 08-28-2023 at 12:46 PM. |

It seems that the core of this is that the metadata.calibre file on the Libra gets overwritten and the book I just sent disappears from it when connecting back to my PC.

In fact, just using KoboUtilities and running "Refresh the list of books on the device" wipes said file back to initial state with only plato, koreader, and kfmon listed as books on the device.

If you are using KOReader and not sending the books to a location accessible by Nickel (see the excluded folders item (in .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf, look for the [FeatureSettings] header and under it, ExcludeSyncFolders=\\.(?!kobo|adobe).*? for example.), Nickel is not able to access the books and it will not import them to the database.
Again, this comes down to where you are copying the books to. If you are using only KOReader to read, why bother sending kepubs since only Nickel will make use of the extra spans and so on. Perhaps not using the KoboTouch driver and using the generic driver instead would be better suited to your purposes. Last edited by DNSB; 08-28-2023 at 02:50 PM. |

Code:
Elib/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)} There are limits on the number of directory entries in the root of a FAT32 partition which is why I use the Elib directory. That I'm not certain on since I don't use KOReader. Perhaps someone else who uses KOReader will answer that for you. |
