Hello all,


just got this morning my brand new Forma.

After some challenges (the Kobo website is down so I had to hack the registration) the Kobo is up and running.

I started to transfer my book collection using Calibre.

And here I have a challenge: when I transfer a large number of books - I alway get an error in Calibre "Error communicating with device" and the transfer fails.

I have already removed the Kobo utilities plug-in and I have plugged the Kobo directly into my laptop (so no USB hub) - but I still get this error.

Yes, I can transfer 10 books at a time - but with many hundreds of books that is a pain.

Is there a recommended way for transferring hundreds of books in one go?

Thank you for any suggestions!

(The communication itself works well between laptop and Kobo - I copied 2 GB of PDF to the unit with copy - paste with no problem)
