When I finally replaced my Kindle, I found out that my old Calibre wasn't working. I thought it might be because it's old, so I updated - but still nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. (In fact, reinstalling just sets me back to my old settings.)

It won't add or convert any new books I downloaded. Every time I try to add a book I get this message: "calibre, version 1.44.0
ERROR: Adding failed: The add books process seems to have hung. Try restarting calibre and adding the books in smaller increments, until you find the problem book." I tried with several different books, of different sizes and formats.
That is a new one for me.

What OS?
What else (software and updates) were done to the system since it last worked?
Have you tried running Library Maintenance (on the Library icon menu)?
