Weird. Can you confirm that there is a .kobo directory on the device and that it includes a sqlite database. Also, try the normal stuff rebooting windows, turn off and turn on the Kobo.

Hi Timothy,

I agree. Weird is a good word. Yup, I thought of that one and rebooted both XP and the Kobo reader. No change.

Here's a bit more info which will illustrate how strange this is. Sorry about the length of this reply, but I'm trying to be thorough. I'm very comfortable with a command prompt, so I'll cut and paste from the DOS shell window to show you what I'm seeing.

After a reboot of both XP & Kobo, I plug in Kobo *without* turning on Calibre. The Kobo reader's main drive is E: drive, and the microSD is the F: drive. I've now put all my ebooks on the F: drive (the microSD) to simplify things. Thus no ebooks are located on the Kobo main drive, E: So the DOS dir command for the E: drive returns the following:

Volume in drive E is KOBOeReader Serial number is 4E2D:BBB0
Directory of E:\*

10/07/2011   4:50         <DIR>    .adobe-digital-editions

            284 bytes in 2 files and 3 dirs    8,192 bytes allocated
  1,342,787,584 bytes free

Change directories to the E:\.kobo\ subdirectory and here is what the dir command returns:

[E:\.kobo]dir

Volume in drive E is KOBOeReader Serial number is 4E2D:BBB0

Okay so let's take a look at the F: drive where the ebooks are located. The dir command there returns this (more than 230 ebooks, so this is a long dir):

This much seems straight forward to me. But now let's take a look at the high strangeness. Note the above occurs only after everything is rebooted, Kobo is plugged in. and Calibre is **off**. Leaving Kobo plugged in, we turn on Calibre. It starts up, the lower right screen corner or Calibre gives Jobs:2 then quickly changes to Jobs:1. Calibre is trying to read Kobo, but is unable, and Calibre gives the following error message:

calibre, version 0.8.21
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 81, in run
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 333, in _books

  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 631, in reset_favouritesindex
OperationalError: unable to open database file

This what we saw before. But here is where the strangeness happens. Access to both the E: and F: drives is cut off. At the C:\ prompt, we give the command for the computer to go to the E: drive, we get:

[C:\]E:
The system cannot find the file specified.
 "E:"

It is identical if we try to go to the F: drive:

[C:\]F:
The system cannot find the file specified.
 "F:"

If I go to Windows Explorer and try to click into either the E: or F: drive, I get a blank window, suggesting no files (which is not the case as you will shortly see). Closing Calibre changes nothing. The E: and F: drives still cannot be accessed by the Windows XP system. Leaving XP on, let's disconnect Kobo, turn it off, and then wait a minute to reboot it. Leaving Calibre *off*, voila! The E: and F: drives are back and readable by the Windows XP system. Of course, connecting Calibre, and access to the two drives shuts down.

So how, you may ask, did I manage to load the ebooks onto the Kobo in the first place? Glad you asked (you were asking, right?). Actually, it was a dogs breakfast first try. Made the mistake of loading the ebooks from Calibre to Kobo's main drive (the E: drive). Some loaded, some didn't, and every time I went back to Calibre to try to do a correction, ebooks on Kobo were not added but randomly deleted. Yet the books on Calibre (on the computer's hard drive in XP) remained intact.

Found the solution to load the ebooks, odd though it may seem. Got the microSD chip and installed it. Then I deleted all the files on the E: drive from the command prompt. Rebooted Kobo and XP. Opened Calibre and then plugged in Kobo. They connected. While I had the chance I quickly loaded all my ebooks onto Kobo microSD, the F: drive. It worked.

Once in a long while the two (Kobo and Calibre) connect without the above error message, but I can't load any new books onto Kobo's microSD card, the F: drive. Any attempt to load a new ebook from Caliber onto Kobo gets the following error message:

Weird.  Can you confirm that there is a .kobo directory on the device
and that it includes a sqlite database.  Also, try the normal stuff
rebooting windows, turn off and turn on the Kobo.

I have no experience with Kobos, but from the symptoms you describe it seems
like attempts to access the database file on the card are causing a filesystem
error which in turn causes windows to disconnect the drive.

I suggest reformatting your SD card, trying different cables/USB ports.

Thank you for your reply. As you suggested, I reformatted the microSD card (FAT32). I then rebooted both the Kobo touch ebook reader and the desktop computer (Win XPsp3), and after that plugged the Kobo into a different USB port. The Kobo only came with one cable, so I had to use that. No second cable is available to me.

As happened before with an earlier reformat, I was able to successfully load more than 200 ebooks from Calibre to the Kobo. I unplugged the Kobo, and allowed it to process the new content. It's working fine with the newly-installed books. I then plugged the Kobo back into the desktop. Nothing has changed. As happened before Calibre did not recognize the Kobo reader or the books on it. Got the usual Calibre error message:

calibre, version 0.8.21
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 81, in run
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 333, in _books
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 283, in books

  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 631, in reset_favouritesindex
OperationalError: unable to open database file

So the only things we can say for sure are that the problem, as outlined in my earlier emails, still remains, and that reformatting does not solve the problem.

I am open to further suggestions.

Best regards,

Wil

Title:
  Kobo touch ebook reader not recognized by Calibre

Status in calibre: e-book management:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Never had this problem when I used the old Kobo button reader.  Just
  got a new Kobo touch ebook reader.  When I plug it in to my desktop
  computer (XP sp3), the computer (Windows XP) recognizes Kobo touch
  reader as the E: drive (and the F: drive, too, if a microSD card is
  installed), but Calibre does not recognize the Kobo ereader.
  Regardless of whether or not a microSD card is installed, Calibre
  gives the following error message:

calibre, version 0.8.21
  ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi

Just to confirm, on the kobo you selected settings, device information
and touched the Factory Reset button.

If that is the case, you could try getting windows to do a chkdsk on
the main memory drive of the kobo (not the sdcard). The database it
is attempting to open is on that drive and there is something wrong.

I a check disk does not show any errors and you have done the full
factory reset you may have a defective device.

BTW, are you plugged in dirrectly to the computer (not through a hub
or usb extension cable). The touch is finicky about both.

Hi Tim,

Thank you so-o-o much. The Kobo touch reader seems to be working properly with Calibre now. First off, per your suggestion, I stopped using the USB hub and plugged in the Kobo directly to a vacant USB port. Less strangeness. That was progress. Then I unplugged the Kobo and turned off so I could remove the microSD chip. Turned the Kobo back on, plugged it in the USB port and hit the Factory Reset again as you suggested. That went well. Turned off and unplugged the Kobo, reinserted the microSD chip, plugged in and booted up the Kobo. Deleted all files on the microSD chip.

And it was clear sailing from then on. Calibre is now working fine with Kobo. Got more than 200 books loaded and running on the chip. My experience is that Kobo can get a bit strange with too many books loaded on the main drive, so I put all my books on the chip which eliminates any potential conflicts.

My conclusion is that the problem with Calibre not reading the Kobo drives must have been from plugging the Kobo reader into the USB hub. That seems to be what started the mess, as my recollection is that Calibre and Kobo were working okay before then. Thank you for your guidance.

May I make a friendly suggestion? If the Kobo touch reader is so doggone sensitive about a direct connection to a free USB port, perhaps a few words might be put on the Calibre website warning people about this. Never use a USB hub with a Kobo touch. You might also include the advice to use the Factory Reset for those klutzes (like me) who out of ignorance may have used a USB hub connection not knowing the hub connection (or an extension cable) is an invitation to a Kobo malfunction. Such a warning appears nowhere in the meagre Kobo touch documentation.

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Best regards,

Wil

Hi,

I'm getting more or less the same error. Kobo Touch V1.9.16

PC, Intel i920. Windows XP SP3.

Kobo connected directlyto a USB port with supplied cable.

I've tried a factory reset and I'm still getting the same error. Oddly, whatever the cause, I haven't had the same thing happen with the Kobo desktop software or when placing files directly as an external drive.

calibre, version 0.8.37
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Any ideas?

I heard back from Kobo tech support. They are pinning this firmly on Calibre...to the point they said, "Don't use Calibre...use Adobe Digital Editions".

Anybody any idea what is happening? To be fair, it only seems to happen when using Calibre.

Same error, here is the debug log. Not sure what happened, calibre worked like a charm the first couple of times I used it, this only started with the third and subsequent connections. I have several books on the calibre that work fine, show up in explore and on the kobo touch itself, but not in calibre.

I can see that the latest versions of Calibre (1.8 & 1.9) detect the Kobo Touch as a Kobo Touch/Glo/Mini/Aura HD
Calibre also recognizes the library in Kobo and determines those displays whether they are in the Calibre library or not, as well as displaying to which collection(s) each book is in.
