The full text of the error message (see that copy to clipboard- button?) would also be helpful.

quoting for full reply.
i don't think i 'did' anything to break the connection. but i really am not a technical computer person. i just plug the usb in to my netbook port, then connect it to ereader. click 'connect' on screen of ereader. click 'cancel' when the pop up menu thing appears on my netbook asking me to open with a program or file folder whatever dohickey.
then i click on my shortcut on my quick launch menu (on startup menu taskbar) for calibre. as i do it today, it shows an update available in calibre. so i'm updating/downloading that now.
while i'm downloading file for update, i see that calibre is doing 'jobs'. i click there and see:
get device information - and that has green check mark.
get list of books on device - unavailable and has status 'error' and the error screen pops up on calibre that says: error communicating with device
calibre, version 0.8.17
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

then soon after, the following error message pops up on the task bar where the ereader is attached via removable device thingy icon.
windows delayed write failed.
