That means there is something wrong with the "calibre.metadata" file on the device. This is created by calibre and records the books it know about on the device. When you reconnect it is used to match the calibre library with the device library. This probably means there is bad character in the file As it has the metadata from the books in it, that means there is something strange in the metadata.

That tells me the KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED is still installed and enabled. Earlier you said you removed it. This is the reason the books are being sent as kepubs. If you don't want that, you need to disable it, unisntall it or change the drivers configuration to not do the conversion. Only do the latter if you want to use the other function that this driver provides.

Once you do the above, send some books and see how it goes.
