My thought is that the SD card might be slower than the main memory. CC uses the network to buffer up some changes. If the SD card is sufficiently slower then calibre might time out, thinking that the device went away. The subsequent syncs would make further progress on that buffer until the buffer gets small enough to finish in the time available.

There is almost no downside in making calibre's timeout longer, so I will do that. However, it would be nice to know if I am solving the real problem.

This is great news. Did you have any trouble opening your books from CC into your book reader?

Also, which book reader do you use?
I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was something like "device ended the connection", while CC continued to say that it was syncing with calibre. I tried it again just now and it synced very rapidly (I've only read a couple books since the last connection) with no problems. I suspect you may be right about the timeout.

I've had absolutely no problems opening books - it works perfectly, and exactly as it used to. I use FBReader, which is set as the default for epubs, and it still works as default - I hit the Read button on a book and it opens, no fuss. Once the library got into that folder, CC went back to working as it used to - books can be passed from calibre, data syncs, and books can be opened and read.

Oh, I mentioned this earlier - FBReader apparently writes to a cache of some sort, and I had to move its cache from CC's library to a folder in internal memory. But it apparently _only_ needs to write to cache, it has no problem having its library set to the new CC library folder.
