Comment 22 for bug 1024983

Tim,

True, but as you probably know, if there are NDAs involved, speaking as someone spending a good part of his life handling "NDA-covered" information, the way around that is to get yourself scoped into the NDA Agreement. That way they can give you stuff with comfort as long as there is a relationship of trust, which certainly seems to be the case.

Regards,

Mark

Hi

Kobo has provided significant help to me in the past including several
devices (and the Touch).  I generally have access to ask questions to
some of the Kobo stay.  However, I don't currently have access to
design documentation on the database and how the various operations
affect it.  I will ask whether they have that level of documentation
available to me but that stuff often gets covered by NDAs and lawyers.

Kobo has been and continues to be very helpful.  I suspect that I
simply need to sit down and document the database myself, which is
something I probably should have done long ago.

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.
