Unfortunately, I can't help. As @DNSB said, it seems to be an issue with the Elipsa, or the firmware on it. There is discussion on it in the Kobo forum. I have posted some suggestions that might help to track down when it happens, but, at the moment, we don't know. But, I do not believe it is a problem caused by calibre. I believe that something else is causing the problem, and calibre just happens to be the only thing that explicitly shows an error about it.
