I am beginning to suspect a hardware problem. Have you recently changed computers? USB cables? USB ports where you plug in the Kindle? Anything?
No computer, USB cable, or port change.

I did a lump transfer of about 10 books well before that connection - like 3 connections before that - but anything is possible I guess. I can't explain it.

Another connection:

This part is from the cmd window:

C:\Users\Just Me>calibre-debug -g > caldebug.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\customize\ui.py", line 350, in get_file_type_metadata

File "site-packages\calibre\customize\builtins.py", line 209, in get_metadata

File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\mobi\reader.py", line 203, in section_offset

error: unpack requires a string argument of length 8

This part is from the debug text - it was hung up for quite a while and I closed Calibre, bad I know, but it wouldn't let go and it wouldn't eject either.
