I have just upgraded my Paperwhite to the latest version and I get a error message when trying to transfer some books as follows:

calibre, version 3.25.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 5] Input/output error: '/Volumes/Kindle/documents/May, Peter'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 87, in run
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 591, in _upload_books
File "site-packages/calibre/devices/usbms/driver.py", line 314, in upload_books
File "site-packages/calibre/devices/usbms/device.py", line 1011, in create_upload_path
File "lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/Volumes/Kindle/documents/May, Peter'

It was no problem with the old Kindle, but now some books work and some do not. Anyone come across this before?
