No idea, sorry. That error is basically windows telling calibre it could not create the folder. There's not anything calibre can do at that point. Only suggestions I can come up with is try a different usb cable/port and if that doesnt work try resetting the nook.

I am also having this issue. I did not have the problem with Calibre 6.28. It started with 6.29. I have reset the device. Made sure the NOOK folder is there and made sure the .calibre files were not present. From what I am seeing from other posts, this seems to be a problem for a lot of users with this device.

I didn't get around to trying to connect my GL4+ to Calibre until after I'd updated it to 7.1.0, but...

I just bought my Glowlight 4 Plus. I am having the same issues as everyone else here. Am I going to have to stop using Calibre? This is very disappointing. I am not real computer savy. I have been using Calibre for 10 years with many different Nooks and Kindles and have never had this problem. Usually it just works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I have found that I can sideload books from the Calibre library using Windows file explorer, so that will have to do. |

Of course other brands have their own frustrations and headaches, nothing is perfect. Kobo has the least amount of them for me, though (not saying it's necessarily true for you - as you said, we all have our preferences). |

Without calibre running, can you create a folder on the nook with Windows Explorer?

And now, they just discontinued their windows app. So we have no way of getting our purchased books into Calibre. I really wanted to support B&N but I’m not putting up with this. Switching back to Kobo ereaders and getting my books from the Library or ebooks.com. |

Something interesting. You can use Calibre to save to the NOOK folder with Linux. I don't currently have a Mac but makes me wonder if it would work on Mac too?

The current version of Calibre works with the Nook GL 4/4+ on my Mac, as well as for other Mac users who have discussed it over on the B&N forum, but when the GL4+ was new and didn't work with Calibre yet I was using the Android File Transfer application on the Mac to copy books to it manually. I haven't tried it recently though.

FWIW, I'm getting the same error on Windows 10 Pro with calibre 7.3:
