But it was a method that worked to make use of Calibre and how it can send titles, shelves, etc.
That's interesting. Running Calibre on my old XP desktop also bombs out when trying to send books to my Glo, so I too had to switch to use a Windows 7 netbook where Calibre runs ok.

On my XP machine I tried changing USB ports and cables but nothing seemed to fix it.
