Looks like that is exactly what it is. koboutils needs to be updates too it seems

You just need to wait until tomorrow for the new version of calibre that will know about the new Kobo Readers. Kobo Utilities will then know about your Kobo. I don't know if uncaged will work with the updated calibre but I doubt it given @PeterT's recent post in this thread.

Jon... This is talking about a go package used in UMCaGED and is not related to the python code in calibre.

I'm trying to decide whether to give KU a complete overhaul (there's plenty of issues with it), or if I come up an alternative way to sync books with calibre, maybe using tags.

Have you tried the kobo sync api with calibre-web? Entire library (or specific shelves) shows up “natively” on the device with covers. For my use it’s perfect. The major thing missing is syncing metadata and cover changes which I was hoping uncaged could fill - it’d be beautiful if both worked together - https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-...bo-Integration
