Yes. Take a look at FAQ answer number 3 on this thread. This gets you the complete calibre log.

It would be even more useful if you asked calibre to include more debug info in the log. Do this in calibre by going to preferences -> plugins -> device interface plugins -> Smartdevice app driver. Push the "customize plugin" button and check the "More debug information" box (spelled something like that).

It is worth noting that the advanced debug information can include detailed information about your books, such as title, author, and series. You might consider this to be a privacy concern. If so, then "private message" the log to me instead of posting it here.
I have turned on "Print extra debug information". I don't care as long as you don't make fun of all of my romancey series.

I attempted sycing 50 books. It made it to all the way to 39. It is still giving the same error message.

calibre, version 0.8.65
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Device responded with incorrect information

ControlError: Device responded with incorrect information

I checked and I still have 'print' turned on.

Oh, the debug mode gives more information? The debug mode was working very well earlier even with a largish amount of books. Would it be helpful if I try syncing even large amounts of books to make even the debug mode give an error?

That is interesting information. It says that you don't have a lot of memory. If I may ask, what kind of device is it?
A rooted Nook Color.

We could add a "star" or some such to CC. Unfortunately, there isn't any way for CC to pass information like this back to calibre, so you would need to look at the device to see what to remove. This is not at all ideal. I can see people deleting the wrong thing.

I am looking at ways to change calibre to permit CC to "talk" back to it. The first goal was to permit searching for books in calibre from CC, then asking calibre to "send" them. If I can make this work (and that isn't at all certain), then I could also consider sending new metadata back to calibre. We will see ...
A star even if it doesn't send the information back might actually really help keep track of what I have read. Having it send the information back itself would be appreciated even more. I hope you accomplish it!
Another possibility could be a 'recently opened book list' which also shows the percentage of how of the book you have read. Right now I am using my reader app (FBReader) to keep track but it doesn't have a simple option 'read' either.

Oh. And I encountered another problem. I read about half of a book in calibre. When I sent the book to the app and opened it the first page showed 'chapter 19' and I could not go back to any previous chapter. In FBReader it opened onto chapter 19 but Moon+ wouldn't even open the book and complained of an I/O error. The book was fine when I went back to calibre.

Thanks again for the app! I for see it being much more convenient!
