How many books in your library, how many are you sending to the device?

Try creating a new empty library add one or two books and send those to the folder and see what happens.
10000 books, and none sent. This error happens already when connecting to the folder. (which is another thing I don't understand, why is it sending metadata at that point?)

I created a new library and added 3 books, then connected to the folder. Same error happened.
I watched the task manager, when the error happened memory was a bit over 1GB, after the message popped up it fell down to 800000.

I should mention btw that I restore the .metadata.calibre file from an actual backup after every error since Calibre always set the file to zero length, and usually I can forget the whole folder after that since Calibre does not know anymore which book belongs to which book in the library.
