[William Sutherland]

Upgraded from 0.8.4 to 0.8.8. Now calibre not showing what's on kobo.

Seems to send docs & books to kobo, though.

Windows XP.

Get error message every time calibre is launched:

Thanks. Downloaded new firmware from the ultra-annoying and difficult kobo website and that fixed the problem.

Did not know how to search the bug fix site.
