I get that from time to time, but I don't think Windows has ever claimed to have found an error.

I just couldn't get it to work anymore. Even a book I had just placed on it, couldn't be found when I restarted Calibre... Apparently my database (even though I have set it to backup once a day) wasn't backed up...
If the database isn't being backed up, then it usually means the database is corrupt. But, you should get an error message showing this. The only other reason I can think of is if the plugin wasn't identifying the device properly. If you are using device specific options, then it it uses an id in the driveinfo.calibre file. If that gets recreated, it will have a different id in it, and won't be seen as the same device. It should really use the device serial number, but I haven't gotten around to changing it.
