In fairness to Kobo: if they say "We hope to have it fixed by 5pm EST Saturday" and it doesn't show up by then, by 5:01pm EST Saturday there will be multiple posts from people dumping all over them for being late/calling them liars etc even though they said HOPE not GUARANTEE. As Taming said, this was an example of why they DON'T release a date/time. Last edited by robko; 07-16-2012 at 06:54 PM. Reason: typo |

I did have problems with books that were there but without images when I had deleted the books via Calibre. Transferring books seems to work for me.

Just as an experiment (and yes... the things we do to help others)... I just did a factory reset / deinstall Kobo Desktop / reinstall / reconfigure.
No issues at all (apart from having to call Adobe to get my activation count reset). Order was:
Result... all books now on device. Only 5 books have images shown in the .kobo\images directory; these are the 5 on the front page; other images are extracted / created as needed in 2.0.0. I have calibre 8.60 configured in the Device Interface module to attempt to support new .., and not to upload covers. Also, in Sending books to devices I have Metadata management set to Manual management and the Save Template to {author_sort}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}. All this is being done with a Metadata plugboard active of {series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} Last edited by PeterT; 07-17-2012 at 10:31 PM. |

@Paul Evans ... I followed Peter T's instructions and have had no problem loading books from Calibre with 2.0 on the Touch. I assume you did the "Eject" when you say "and then disconnecting my Kobo from the computer using Calibre".

calibre supported versions
I posted this in the calibre forum at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=185229, but I will repeat it here as this is a good place for it.

To pick up from a two-month-old problem of Calibre not recognizing my KT when 2.0 was installed and I got that scary warning (see post #1), I'd like to report that Calibre now does, but no thanks to Calibre and its programmers and fans.
Here's what happened. In all the instructions in this thread and elsewhere about enabling the Kobo Device Plugin, it turned out that all the plugins were by default enabled and in selecting that plugin, I unwittingly disabled it. How would I have guessed that Calibre was calibrated already for the BOEYE Box, JetBook Mini, Nuut2, ShineBook, Wexler, and a million ereaders not in my hand? Isn't the idea of a plugin that the user selects it and plugs it in to his software? I guess not. So was the problem my brainware or Calibre's? Calibre Preferences/Plugins didn't say that all the device plugins were already enabled. However, if that was the case in mid-July, then Calibre 0.8.60 should have immediately recognized KT with 2.0. No? Sorry to be, in my frustration with Calibre, aggravating about this issue to, among others, PeterT, in weeks past. |

It will be [able to manage KT with firmware 2.0]. Hopefully in the next week or two. He might & might not be working, but that's up to him, but he comfirmed he's coming up with a solution. Just wanted to clear it out |
