Hey guys.
SORRY IN ADVANCE BUT THIS IS A LONG ONE...:(
:help: Pretty please can someone help with the above? Can't find anything satisfactory on the Kobo website to help, and as my device is out of warranty Kobo can't/won't provide any helpful answers.
I have a Kobo Glo, have had it since released (in 2012/2013) and am very happy with it. I read daily and update my books frequently from my laptop via Calibre.
The other day wanted to add a new book to it and couldn't as I am now getting the "Windows doesn't recognise the USB device" message. It still connects though (ie the device thinks it is connected to the laptop) and charges which is just confusing... so as long as I just want to read my Pocket content or read direct from Kobo (which I hate as I prefer to mess with my books in Calibre first) I will be ok!
I have 3 different USB cables that I have tried, and also tried all of the 4 USB ports on my laptop, soft reset the device a number of times and have now done a factory reset (which has of course deleted all the books I had on it) but still nothing! I have also tried to update the drivers on my laptop, but the message tells me that the drivers already installed for the device are up to date. This is all very frustrating as it still works but it's now empty and I can't add anymore from my laptop.
I have an extensive ebook library on my laptop (managed via Calibre as I have already mentioned) that I have had for a number of years and would gladly sync wirelessly if I knew how to wirelessly connect to the laptop and therefore Calibre...
Have tried to set up a Dropbox/Calibre2opds libary but can't get the opds to work. Have even tried to dl direct from my dropbox via the built in web browser but this just doesn't want to work either.
My android phone, digital camera and other USB devices I have all connect to my laptop without any problems so I know that the laptop is not at fault.
I don't have the spare cash to get a new one at the moment and even if I did the fact the device seems to work is so frustrating! Am soo close to pulling my hair out. PLEASE WHAT DO I DO??? :thanks:
