Comment 15 for bug 1024983

Kobo is fine - harware and software; the problem occurs when Calibre wants to play with it because Calibre needs to be up-dated to be compliant with the latest version of Kobo software.

Timothy,

I have discovered some things which might be interesting for you.

Calibre 0.8.34 works fine with Kobo Touch fimware 2.0 from Windows XP 32
bit (running on VMWare). However, the same version on Windows 7 64 bit
bricks Kobo and does not show any error messages.

Got, why did I choose the Kobo!? It is a such a crap! Hardware is not
bad but software!

Thank you,
Vlad

Title:
  0.8.60 does not support latest Kobo Touch database

Status in calibre: e-book management:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running calibre 0.8.60 on Win7

  When connecting to Kobo Touch (running 1.9.17), Calibre provides this
  message:

  calibre, version 0.8.60
  WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details

  Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As Calibre
  has not been updated, database editing is disabled.  You can enable
  support for your Kobo in plugin preferences.  Doing so may require you
  to perform a factory reset.  Before selecting the "Attempt to support
  newer firmware" option you should be familiar with restoring your Kobo
  to factory defaults.

  ================

  Calibre does not display content of connected device although
  transferring content from Calibre library to device still works.
