Error communicating with device (kindle paperwhite)

Hey

Having a weird error. Hooked up the kindle this morning, and it'll get to about 92-93% and then hits me with an error communicating with device.

Quote:
calibre, version 3.15.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[Errno 22] invalid mode ('wbN') or filename: u'M:\\metadata.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 510, in _books

IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wbN') or filename: u'M:\\metadata.calibre'
That's the error I get.

Any idea what's going on? Only recent change is the upgrade to the 3.15 version. I rarely connect my kindle to the pc, so I can't say this is because of that or another version.

Just odd. I've rebooted the pc a few times, and I still get the error each time.

Any helps appreciated!
