First I sent the three "ordinary" epubs I had sent to Elipsa yesterday 4 July, and it worked. I ejected/reconnected, then sent the metadata and reading positions, checked the DB (ok) and saved it. They all landed as kepubs on the Elipsa. I then disabled the "silent" check box on KoboTouch Extended, to have the eventual error message to send you.

I tried a test copy of one of the 11 books which necessitated a preliminary conversion with Calibre 64bit 5.22.1, "Dictionnaire historique de la langue française", 1114 html files, 20.10 Mo, and it didn't work. Here is the error message:
Spoiler:
calibre, version 5.22.0

I am of course at your disposal for further tests whenever I have the time - not that much presently since I go on holidays Thursday 8, but I'll take my Surface, Elipsa and Libra and can continue from the 11th.
Can you run calibre in debug mode and post or PM the log? I need to see what is happening to understand why it isn't working for you. Also, is the book available to see? And how much RAM does the Surface have? Anything else running at the time to consume resources?
