It just won't read the card & reader correctly. If I take the SD card out Calibre will work fine with just the reader.

Is there any way to read the card through Calibre when it's actually inserted into my computers card reader rather than through my Bebook and connecting that to Calibre? I need to see which books are missing and haven't been loaded on to it, I know I missing loads and I have hundreds of authors. To go through each author manually and find the missing books will take weeks.
Yes, you can use the card with any SDcard reader.
Sounds like you have file system corruption (happens on my Astak PP),.
Windows: QUIT Calibre (not just close).
Explore My computer. Find the drive that represents the SDcard.
Right-click Properties
Tools tab, "Check for errors" "Check now" button
tick "Fix" Start.
Error fragments will be dumped into a (hidden) folder "found.000" (which you need to delete to get the space back.
Or
Just format the card (the down side is you will lose all bookmarks and may need to re-authorize the card with ADE)
