I'm running Calibre (0.8.45) on Windows 7 Home.

When I plug the Kindle in, I get the following error in Calibre:

calibre, version 0.8.45
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'F:\\metadata.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 82, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 339, in _books
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kindle\driver.py", line 329, in books

File "site-packages\calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 385, in write_prefix
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'F:\\metadata.calibre'

What can I do?

Thanks so much!
