Kobo Touch Extended transfer issue
Hello, I just got a Clara HD and used Calibre to move my .epubs to it so they beecome .kepubs.epub. I couldn't transfer one book because it maybe was too large. It is Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas, size is 9.8mb. This is the error message I received.
calibre, version 5.22.1 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device can't start new thread Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 89, in run File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 595, in _upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 406, in upload_books File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2137, in upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver" , line 217, in _modify_epub File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container" , line 133, in __init__ File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container" , line 417, in __run_async_over_content File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container" , line 409, in __run_async File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container" , line 409, in <listcomp> File "threading.py", line 852, in start RuntimeError: can't start new thread Would anyone happen to know what went wrong and if I could transfer this book? |

If you are running 32 bit calibre try using the 64 bit edition.
Surprised the error message doesn't show bitedness. BR |

This is a problem that has noticed a bit recently with the KoboTouchExtended driver. It is related to how the driver makes the changes to the books. It probably means there are a lot of internal files that need to be change. I will look at changing this when I have time. But, if you are running the 32bit version of calibre, updating to the 64bit version will probably solve it. Or at least push the problem off for a much larger book.
If that doesn't work, you can also try converting the book using the Kepub Output plugin. I won't be surprised if that fails for the same reason as there is a lot of shared code in the extended driver and the output plugin, but, there might be less resource being use elsewhere, so it might work. |
