I just got a new book from Amazon.com (
http://smile.amazon.com/Bible-Englis...qid=1409939685) and downloaded it to my computer using Kindle for Mac before importing it into my calibre library. Given the size of the book, I figured that rather than ask the Kindle to download the book from the Archived Items I'd load it via the USB link. However, when I tried this, the Kindle got forcibly disconnected right away (causing the OS to complain). I tried again, got the same result, tried another book (which worked fine) and then tried twice more with the same net result (though different error message, see below). Finally, on the 5th attempt, the book was successfully sent to the Kindle.
In trying this I've gotten 2 errors from calibre. The first (on the first two attempts) was:
Quote:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/Volumes/Kindle/metadata.calibre'
Traceback (most recent call last):

The second (on the second two attempts):
Quote:

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Do I have to worry about it recurring? Should I be doing something different in order to avoid the problem in the future?
