It seems I still have some problems. I am trying to export some books to my 'old faithful' Kobo Glo HD. Strangely, some books did not seems to have any problems, but a few are just impossible to export.

Since updating to 3.6.9 (previously was using 3.6.7) I've been unable to transfer .cbr and .cbz files to my Kobo Libra Color. I even tested files that were previously on my libra colour by removing them from the device and trying to re-transfer them back onto the device. I always get the following error:

ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Load the eBooks that are failing into the editor and use the editor error checker and eoubcheck (editor plugin) to check for errors and then once any errors are corrected and both error checks say there are no errors, try to send those eBook to your Kobo and see what happens.
