It is the kobo generated thing, with "Book Title [epub]" stamped on it. Definitely all epubs.

- Path length as explained above. If you use calibre and the new driver to send the books to the device, it keeps the path length for the books short enough not to hit problems with the path length for other files.
- How many books on the device? Maybe you are hitting the limit that scoobertron seems to be hitting.

Paths are same as before - in one case, the book in question is just the next in a series, so instead of 'Saganami 02: Storm from the Shadows' it is 'Saganami 03: Shadow of Freedom'. First one worked last year when I got it, this one didn't
Also I think all are shorter paths than what worked in the past.
I actually only use calibre to convert and clean up the books, I don't bother with the GUI or the kobo driver, never have. I just use rsync to copy new files over. Only at ~850 books at this point, so that shouldn't be a problem.

- Have you checked the images directory for the image file? I was doing a lot of playing last night because of this thread and another. I had a couple of books come up with blank covers. When I looked at the images directory, the cover images where there. But they where blank. I deleted them and they were generated correctly after the disconnect.

Yeah, took a quick look at that, and they aren't there. I'd also at one point tried deleting the entries from DB and letting it re-process them, but that isn't fixing it.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't exactly the end of the world, but it'd be nice to know what the heck is going on
Thanks for your help!
