Just a wee followup.....

I can reproduce the "disappearing" act of a book I converted in Calibre it seems....
  1. Convert the book in the usual way
  2. Upload the book to the KT
  3. The book appears on the KT as expected and is mentioned in the metadata.calibre file
  4. eject the KT using the CALIBRE DEVICE EJECT Method
  5. The Windows 7 USB icon disappears as if the KT have been disconnected BUT
  6. When I then pull out the USB cable from the KT, the "disconnect" sound is heard, and the KT doesn't process the file BUT
  7. If I disconnect the KT via the Win7 USB icon rather than Calibre, the KT disconnects correctly and the new book processes as expected

This sort of implies that the KT isn't being completely disconnected by the Calibre disconnect process, books disappear and possible corruption of the databases or files is quite possible, as has happened a couple of times in the last day since I received my KT.

I will be very interested if anyone else can reproduce this "feature" - perhaps it is just my laptop.....

Cheers
