I seem to remember reading somewhere that Calibre either changes or doesn't change something on the disk which leads Windows to think there might be an error. Is this the explanation, or is something amiss?

I had some issues similar to that, and most often when I would connect my Glo, the first transfer of a few books went ok, after that if I wanted to send a few more books to the Glo, Calibre would give an error that it can't communicate with the device. I'd have to unplug the reader manually, couldn't eject it properly, restart Calibre and then try again.

I really never thought it was a Calibre issue though, so I finally broke down and did a factory reset on the Glo. Transferred my books over again (I only keep under 200 on my readers), and I haven't had any of those problems since and I still use only Calibre to sideload all my books.

I just chalked it up to a possible corrupt database, which I've read can happen quite often. But you might give that a try and see if it doesn't solve the problem. Just be sure you have copies of your books elsewhere too, it will erase everything from the reader and you'll have to set it up again like new.
