I am using PRS+, but I have been using that for a while. I believe 0.8.35 worked last. I have restarted my computer since upgrading, and cannot think of any other changes I have made since.

Any clues/ideas/solutions? The error message is below.

Thanks.

calibre, version 0.8.37

metadata.calibre may be damaged.
Shut down Calibre (can't be running)
Delete that file (on H
you might run windows Disk check on that drive, tick ONLY "Automatically Fix File system errors" while you are at it.
When that is done.
Restart Calibre.
It will take a bit of time to scan and rebuild the list of Books Calibre finds on your reader.

That should help
