Traceback (most recent call last):

The solution was to do what DNSB suggested in post #3226 above. I removed the checkmark from the "Use Kobo viewer for EPUB books" in the KoboTouch driver and this disabled the sending of keypub.epub. Calibre now just sends epubs to the device section of Calibre and to my Kobo so that I can now open the books in the device section as well as in Kobo.

When you send books to your Kobo, are you have author directories created? If so, that could be the problem. Plig in your Kobo tot he USB. Create a directory call books. Then remove the author directories from the template in Kobo Touch. replace it with books. It could be maybe an author name is using an extended character and causing the problem.
