I keep getting the same error on one of my Macs and can't transfer books. However I can transfer it on another Mac (not as convenient to sync books with though).

I have uninstalled/reinstalled or disabled Kobo plugins, including Kobo Touch and KoboTouchExtended, reopened Calibre.

Using Calibre 3.44 on both Macs and Kobo OS 4.15.12920.

Driving me mad why one works and the other doesn't.

Calibre's debug log is attached, showing the failure to Send to Device.

If my plugin preferences are somehow screwed up, where do they live on disk so that I can try and clean them up?
