Next chance I get to fight with...sorry, to connect one of my Kobos, I'll try to capture the actual error behind "Error communicating with device."
What versions of Calibre are you using to connect? I discovered a problem with connecting my Kobo using Calibre 3.5.0 and 3.6.0. Each time to connect your Kobo ereader to Calibre it updates a file on the Kobo ereader. I would have a connection error message on my Kobo when trying to connect to Calibre, and then after that, I could no longer connect to my laptop (I used both Mac OSX and Windows 10).

Anyway, try deleting this file: "driveinfo.calibre" on the main directory of your Kobo and see if that helps.
