I did a serach and found this solution from Chaley, which I tried. It didn't work.

I added an option (checkbox) to the calibre wireless device driver to ignore device free space when sending books. The option will be in the next calibre release, which I think will be 4.20.

To set the option, in calibre:

Go to calibre Preferences.
Click the "Plugins" icon in the "Advanced" section at the bottom of the screen
Type "SmartDevice" (without the quotes) in the search box then press Return. The "SmartDevice App Interface" plugin will be highlighted.
Click the "Customize plugin" button.
Check the "Ignore device free space" checkbox at the bottom of the configuration screen.
Press OK
Press the Apply button on the Plugins dialog.
Restart calibre


The error message after doing the above is now

calibre, version 5.17.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device
