Was going through my Kindle Voyage in Calibre and deleting some books. After a couple, I got the following error and the Kindle disconnected from the computer. Could be a fluke, but I thought I'd report it.
EDIT1: Rebooted the Kindle, reconnected it to the computer, tried deleting some more, and got the same error. I *think* that after doing some number of deletes, the Kindle disconnects itself from the OS and then the next time I try to delete, I get that error (which would make sense since there's nothing left to communicate with). Not sure what's causing the Kindle to disconnect.
EDIT2: Happened again on a second Kindle Voyage. This time, all my deletes succeeded (so no error message). But, after that, the Kindle just disconnected again. Could be an OS thing, so I'll try connecting the Kindle to just the computer and letting it sit for a bit.
EDIT3: Not a very good test, but just adding and deleting things to the Kindle from the OS doesn't seem to cause the problem. Looks like it's limited to Calibre.
