Harry, it's unclear that there's a problem with the actual data transfer. But even so, I'd consider the cable thing a possibility if not for the fact that transfers using the Android File Transfer program work fine at the expected speed.

Koyid, I didn't say file transfers were taking a long time. I said it was taking a long time to get the list of files on the device, and then at the end of the process I get the error message shown in the first post.

You said "something on the device locking a file" as if Calibre wasn't involved in that, despite the fact that the file in question is "metadata.calibre", a file that is created and manipulated by the Calibre app during the process of getting the list of books.

I don't understand why "metadata.calibre" even exists on the device at all. When I saw the error message, my first reaction was, why the heck is Calibre creating and writing files on the device when it's supposedly just getting the list of files? Especially if it's a temporary file that's getting deleted at the end? Why isn't that getting saved on the computer side of things?
