I have bought a KOBO Clara 2E ereader. So far i have been unable to connect it to Calibre. I have also been unable to find a solution on the Internet, though there are lots op people who did say something about it. FYI: The ereader is visible in the file manager, so it is mounted. I have the latest version of Ubuntu (22.04.2) LTS installed

  • It seems that the problem is the ereader being mounted as a MTP device instead of a mass storage device. If that is indeed so, how do I get the Kobo Clara 2E mounted as a mass storage device? I have read somethings (https://superuser.com/questions/1206664) about changing the udev rules but have not been able to find out which file with extension .rules I should change – Jochiehans Nov 10 '23 at 12:20

Support for Kobo Clara 2E was added to Calibre in version 6.5, so I was able to fix this issue by using the Snap installation of Calibre, which has a newer version than apt. The version installed by apt was 5.37, as one can see in Ubuntu packages for 22.04 but the version installed by Snap was 7.something. As soon as I installed the newer version, it worked.

To install Calibre as a Snap, open a terminal and run:

sudo snap install calibre
