Kobo Arc and Calibre
I used Calibre successfully with my Vox, but when I tried out my new Arc with Calibre, the software crashed. And kept crashing, every time I started it with the Arc plugged into my computer. I tried restarting my computer, opening Calibre and then plugging in the Arc - same result
I also noticed that when I run the Welcome Wizard that the Arc is not listed as one of the Kobo devices. Is that going to be changed soon? Will they ever work together? I have found a workaround for now, but it's a shame, as I really do like Calibre. Thanks... |

Ok - so instead of trying the app, I plugged my Arc in and started Calibre...this time Calibre didn't crash, but decided it couldn't communicate with it. Here is the error log:
calibre, version 0.9.10 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device Cannot write to file: hr=2147942431 facility=7 error_code=31 description: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Now, the message says the device isn't functioning, yet I was able to copy using my the Win 7 library - just copied and pasted...very odd behaviour and I'm still trying to figure out why Calibre worked fine with the Vox, yet seems to have trouble with the Arc! |

That's an error communicating with the device. Rebooting both the device and the computer might fix it, otherwise your only other option is to use one of the wireless transfer methods.
