Help!!
This error (Windows Error 82) just happened to me also. It turns out that it was the result of pushing the limits of the FAT16 format that many SD cards come preformatted with. In my case there were over 900 books when this happened.

Not knowing, I initially just tried to reformat the SD card, but hit that limit again.

Reformatting the SD card as FAT32 solved the problem.

I hope this helps others that run into this problem.
