This has happened a few times now and when I'm only looking to add one or two books at a time... I can put up with it. But I just got myself a new Kindle and need to transfer the entire library into the new device.

The problem is, I select the books I want and press "Send to device". Then anywhere from a few seconds later to a minute or so, Calibre just vanishes. I don't get an error message, Windows doesn't pop up with any warnings, it just closes as if I'd pressed Alt+F4. I then have no idea whether it's completed the transfers or crashed halfway through.

This happened with quite a few versions of Calibre 5.0 and now is happening again with 6.0. I tried fully uninstalling and then a clean install, but then importing the library backup probably restored something... I don't run any plugins, just one of the metadata plugboards to get the book series in the titles when transferring.

Can anyone help?
