That bit me because about 25% of my books, for whatever reason, were on the device, but Calibre didn't recognize them as 'on device'. I tried sending those books to the device, but it only made duplicates, and if I deleted one (the old one), Calibre said that they weren't on the device any more. I finally took a deep breath, crossed my fingers, and deleted ALL books from my device. I tried running the plugin and kept getting an error. After a few tests, I realized that the books MUST be on the device, not just in the library. Once I loaded all the books to the device, which took some time but went without incident, the error disappeared.
I too have run into this problem but it was usually caused by a crash in Calibre or something that I did, not the plugin. However I was able to recover from the problem by deleting the metadata.calibre file from the kindle rather than deleting the books. Don't forget to have Calibre closed when you do this.
