Error communicating with device

Colonel Cathcart · 06-20-2024, 04:50 AM

This has never happened to me before, and it's just this one book that I get an error when I try to Send to device.
I'm using Calibre 7.12 on Windows 10 trying to send it to my Kobo Libra H20 with the latest firmware. I'm using Kobo Extended Driver.
Any suggestions? Or if you need additional information I'll be happy to provide it.
Bellow you'll find the details (I only redacted my PC user name, replaced by the same number of characters):

Code:

calibre, version 7.12.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Do an epub to epub conversion first to fix the bugs in the epub file.

Since my book backlog is somewhat long (who's isn't?), I was in no hurry to work this out. Today I tried sending that book to the device and it just worked without needing to do anything on my part (aside from updating to the latest version, I do try to keep up with the latest releases).
Thank you for all your hard work and continued support.
