Calibre: Error communicating with device
Hi!

I have a Kobo Clara HD and i'm trying to put books on there with Calibre, its been fine the last two times i have attempted this but now i'm trying to update it i'm getting an error.

The details from it are below:

Quote:
calibre, version 5.42.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Not a ZIP file

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\ebooks\oeb\polish\container.py", line 1188, in __init__
File "calibre\utils\zipfile.py", line 774, in __init__
File "calibre\utils\zipfile.py", line 809, in _GetContents
File "calibre\utils\zipfile.py", line 824, in _RealGetContents
calibre.utils.zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 628, in _upload_books

File "calibre\utils\localunzip.py", line 252, in extractall
File "calibre\utils\localunzip.py", line 239, in _extractall
ValueError: Not a ZIP file
If i've posted this in the wrong place, apologies.

Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It sure looks like a damaged Epub. Can you read it using calibre's viewer?
