1) The Kobo (and this is by far the most likely)
2) The USB connectors (ports or cables)
3) Your computer's motherboard/USB drivers

And no doubt you will say that everything else works fine but calibre doesn't, so the problem must be in calibre. It's like saying your car works fine as long as you drive it below 35 MPH and the moment you take it over that speed the engine starts belching smoke. The Kobo Touch in combination with some hardware is simply not capable of handling the load calibre puts on it. That is not a bug in calibre.

If I were you I'd return my Kobo and get a decent non-Kobo reader that doesn't malfunction at the drop of a hat.
I didn't ask 300 times. I did post in a thread now 4 pages long where numerous people tried to help with this error, and I'm not the only one having it. I posted only after numerous attempts to fix this without posting debug info [read: without bothering you before I tried to fix this myself with the forums assistance]. Perhaps you should make a disclaimer in your initial thread advising people with Kobo not to waste their time posting debug info.
