Hi

I have loaded the Calibre Companion app on a basic Amazon Fire. I am trying to load all my books as TXT files for the metadata, to keep as a reference when away from home. I have over 4500 files to transfer. I was able to get around 2500 transferred yesterday.

Today Calibre Companion is connecting as a wireless device but then disconnecting the moment I try to sync. The error message is 'Calibre Cannot Write The Book File'. In details it says:-

On Windows 7 PC

Device closed the network connection

Traceback (most recent call last):

ControlError: Device closed the network connection

Can anyone shed any light or what is going on please?

Calibre is in Dropbox and both the PC and MAC are running version 2.65.1
