Title:
  Error communicating with device - Kobo -

Status in calibre: e-book management:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have the wireless Kobo and have been using Calibre almost since I
  first got it.  I have just updated to the latest version (0.8.9) just
  in case that helps.  My operating system's Windows 7

  Lately, my Kobo hasn't been processing new content.  I reset it and
  tried again.  Now I'm getting an error message in Calibre and even the
  pre-loaded books aren't showing up in the device tab.

  I tried deleting and loading the images folder and KoboReader.sqlite
  as that corrected someone elses problem, that looked like it might be
  similar.

  Here's the remainder of the error message:

  calibre, version 0.8.9
  ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

  no such column: FavouritesIndex

  Traceback (most recent call last):
