I'm having trouble uploading a particular book to my Kobo Libra 2, using KTE 3.6.3 in Calibre.

The weird thing is, it uploaded fine a few months ago. For various reasons I've removed a lot of books from the device and then re-uploaded them. With all the others, there have been no problems at all - or else, in just one or two cases, problems that have been fixed by converting from epub to epub, etc. (crude, I know - but it usually works!). The details of the error are as follows:

calibre, version 6.13.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Failed to process [NAME OF BOOK]

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

As I said, KTE had no trouble at all with the book a few months ago. Could it be an issue with an update of the plugin?

If anyone has any suggested workarounds, I'd be very grateful.
