I have already removed the Kobo utilities plug-in and I have plugged the Kobo directly into my laptop (so no USB hub) - but I still get this error.
Yes, I can transfer 10 books at a time - but with many hundreds of books that is a pain.
Is there a recommended way for transferring hundreds of books in one go?
Thank you for any suggestions!
(The communication itself works well between laptop and Kobo - I copied 2 GB of PDF to the unit with copy - paste with no problem)

I suggest you log out of your Kobo and register properly via the website or you cannot sync and you cannot use Overdrive. I don't know if you'll be able to use Dropbox or not without a proper registration.
Anyway, are you transferring ePub or KePub? Have you tried both to see which one you want to use for side loaded eBooks? Once you figure this out, if you do go for KePub, you'll want to use the KoboTouchExtended driver convert ePub to KePub and load them on your Forma.
Try side loading a smaller amounts and see if that works like maybe 10 at a time.
