I was confused. The Checkbox is for updated versions of same ID, not an absolutely new model. I've had to check the box occasionally.
But in nearly 8 years and seven models of Kobo (not all for me personally) I've not had a problem. There have been ID updates since the brilliant davidfor became unfortunately unavailable. |

As previously mentioned, unless you are running from source, you would need to install an updated calibre to add/modify the USB IDs or max dbversion which also updates the drivers and Python. May I ask why you are not using the Python supplied with calibre so any updates would be applied with a calibre update? |

I think I've only upgraded python once when I needed to due to calibre. And now I'm at a loss as to what I've been upgrading? I believe I've upgraded calibre maybe 3 or 4 times, and the plugins more times due to using new Kobo models. But I must be mistaken, since you mention drivers being updated with each new model, so I must be installing drivers also? |

The KoboTouch driver is part of the basic calibre install. And calibre does install it's own Python by default so no need to install Python separately though I do have a couple of Python installs for other purposes. If you are using the KoboTouchExtended driver, that is a separate install as is the Kobo Utilities plugin but either should be part of the updated plugins dialog as needed.
OTOH, if you are into fun (well, for certain meanings of fun) and are running Linux, try a distro install without Python with a Python 3.12 install. |

Yes. I should probably be on medication. Regarding Calibre breaking, I don't regularly upgrade. If it ain't broke for me, I don't try to fix it. |

Whereas for me, when I get a book, it goes into calibre, gets the metadata updated including the cover image. OTOH, I do not use any tags other than a custom his/her column. The other metadata I keep are series, publisher, published and subtitle. I also have custom page/word count and Kobo reading progress/status columns. The only custom collection I have is called Finished where books are moved when I finish reading on my Kobo.
I really don't care where I purchased the book nor the price (given the number of books I go through in a year, not something I want to be reminded about). I want to read the books on my ereader not sit there going through calibre and asking myself why the bleep did I spend $14.99 Cdn on that PoC. I do regularly update calibre and since I run from source, that means I often update when Kovid Goyal posts one of his "Fixed by: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...39962ad608b6ca" messages. |

Goodreads plugin works much better for series than the calibre default. That is good enough for me. I had to manually edit metadata a lot more before.
There are always going to be some things to fix, nothing is perfect. |
