Error communicating with device
I just bought a nook glowlight and when I try to put books on it from calibre I keep getting an error communicating with device and I don't know why.


(2, 'GetDiskFreeSpace', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')

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

Try reformatting the Nook storage. It seems to be having difficulty reading it properly, possibly hinting to filesystem corruption.

Check the options an see if there is an option to reformat. Some Readers do have such an option.

Then to reformat the main memory of the device you must reset it to factory defaults. See the glowlight manual for instructions how to do this. The relevant section is on page 76.

Alternatively, try a different USB cable and/or a different USB port on your computer.
