I've tried researching this problem but the discussions get very technical and I am totally unable to follow.

Can someone please give me some clue as to how to proceed? I'm using Calibre 3.47 on a Mac High Sierra 10.13.6. This is a new problem to me--I've been sending books to my various Kobo devices for years with no problems. Thanks in advance.
That's an error in the KoboTouchExtended driver. I really thought I had solved that with the last release of the driver. The workaround is in the thread for the driver.
