I have read a number of threads out there going back to 2011 about this Calibre error. I have tried a lot of the suggestions offered. None of them have worked. There seems to be a variety of reasons for this error all centered around why Calibre cannot communicate with your device or at least why Calibre thinks it cannot communicate with your device. I got so frustrated I ordered a new Kobo Forma (on sale) because my Kobo Aura One is pretty old and I thought that maybe my ereader was just broke.

Of course I then stumbled on the solution after ordering my new Kobo. My solution is not out there that I can see so I thought I'd post it so others can consider it as a potential solution. The book I was currently reading was corrupted. The magical IT fairies corrupted my book and Kobo had a fit when I tried to open it. It was fine yesterday. I deleted it. I then plugged my Kobo back into my computer and Calibre is now happy with it. The error msg is gone. I hope this helps someone.
