Hi everyone,

Thanks for your help on this - I did 2 things (and thus ruining a systematic discovery of the root cause of my woes): a factory reset and switching to the USB cable supplied by Kobo with the Glo HD.

Subsquently, sideloaded books and the "Getting List of Books from the Device" was completed in seconds or less (actually, 0 seconds according to Calibre).

One thing I learned: don't close or exit Calibre even if Windows says the applications is "not responding". I think that may have contributed to the problems I saw and a factory reset and fresh start fixed all that.

Cheers!
