Thanks!
There's a better solution then stopping Calibre from reading what's on your KFHD. The solution is to find what defective eBook you have on it and delete it.

Start by removing them all and putting them back on in small bunches. Each time plug it in to Calibre and wait until you find it fails. When that happens, put each book back on one at a time until you find the defective one.
