Code:
calibre, version 5.16.1
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kobo Touch extended.

I did disable the Kobo Touch plug-in.
That suggests the book has errors. From the code, the extended driver is trying to add a file to the manifest and the manifest cannot be found. That suggests the book is invalid, and specifically, the OPF is wrong. I would open the book in the calibre editor and run to check tool to see what errors it produces and then fix them.
