Commonest causes I have seen are:

- File System corruption on the reader device? Running a file system check can often fix this.
- hardware/firmware fault on the reader device.

quoting you so i don't forget to reply to something.
i don't think the usb is bad - i can use kobo desktop just fine, i can use adobe digital editions just fine, and i use that usb port on my netbook for just about everything - printer, scanner, pda, camera.
how do i determine if it's a 'file system corruption'? what is a file system check and how do i do this? (i'm not a geek, i'm just a homemaker who likes to read.
)
how do i determine if it's a hardware/firmware fault on reader? i have latest updates. (at least, i think i do. - i sync it regularly to the wifi as well as kobo desktop - and weekly i put new library books on it.)
i do have HIGH turnover on books - i average 7-20 weekly from library idownload websites (where i live, i have access to 2 library loan programs - each allows me 10 books per site.) not including all the 'free' materials i have gleaned from those free epub sites.
i have had errors with the ADE program - we learned (we being library service and me) that one cannot return all 10 books at one time - it causes some crazy errors on ADE program.
could that be the origin of all my calibre issues? they seem totally separate to me - and i think the calibre issues were occurring before the ADE problem - now i know i can only return 2-3 books at a time.
the calibre errors show up after i dock the ereader, click 'connect'. then i open up the calibre program that's when the errors transpire - it doesn't even do the 'jobs' properly - it has errors and won't complete.
thanks for the replies - i know this is solve-able.
