Do you have last firmware and last calibre ?
Did you "safe remove" the reader thru windows before unplug it ?

Because when I read "to add some books" I am more thinking about a corrupt file or filesystem on the glo that calibre can not handle (like its metadata.calibre).
If it was a windows things you can not even browse the device.

Calibre does not seem to "communicate" with the kobo, more reading/writing files on it.

Yes, I can view the files through Windows Explorer with no problem, I've done the error checking on the reader's drive and the usb card when prompted and there are no errors found.

I have the Kobo firmware I mentioned above, but I'm not updating the firmware unless I'm forced to, past experience with firmware issues have burned me with updating on the regular. I have Calibre 4.21 (64 bit version), again I don't update unless I'm forced to. I love Calibre, but sometimes things don't work they way they did in previous versions.

Calibre communicates with the device to read the books on the card and the reader. It seems to break down somewhere in that "conversation", either on Calibre's side or the reader's side.

I updated the firmware when I bought a new 16G card sometime in the past year, and updated Calibre over the summer. BEFORE I updated to a new card I had the same problems withe "card errors" - which I why I switched cards, thinking it was a damaged sd card. I updated to this version of Calibre because I was having problems with the editor, and that was over the summer, I think. So everything except the computer and the physical reader is updated fairly recently.
