Could not open books with Kobo 2.5.1 about calibre-kobo-driver HOT 7 CLOSED

After my previous experience with the Kobo Glo update I decided I would never again connect it via the Kobo software or upgrade the firmware, unless something is broken!

from calibre-kobo-driver.

Now I gave it another test. I just downgraded my Kobo Glo back to 2.4,0 (the FW I had before). Now I am not getting the error mentioned in my first post anymore. But now the Kobo freezes with a blank screen when opening the ebook. I do remember that I updated to Calibre plugin from 1.2.5 to 1.2.7 few days before. So something must be wrong with the plugin. Because when I disable the "Extended Features" everything works fine.

Please provide the debug log (details in the README) and if possible a link to the unmodified ePub file.

I'm going to close this for now, if you upgrade to the latest firmware and still have the same issue, post your debug log and re-open this.

from calibre-kobo-driver.

Hey ... it's me again. As I updated my Calibre (0.9.30), Kobo Glo (2.5.2) and your Extended Driver (1.3.2.) I am facing this issue again. So here is the debug log:

There's no exception in this log, so the conversion and transfer didn't fail badly. Are you able to post a link to the book? Either the original ePub or the converted KePub should be fine.

Thanks for your reply again. But for now my problem is solved. I found a hint by someone with similar problems. He recommended to do a factory reset on Kobo Glo. I did reset my device and the error is gone. So you could leave this issue closed. ;)
