Calibre Errors
I have been adding some new files to my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. They're in Word format. The majority of files on my Kindle are in Word format and I've never had a problem. What's happening is:

1. I add the file through Calibre but when I try to send it to my device I get an error message:

"error1920, 'CreateFile', 'The file cannot be accessed by the system.').

Sometimes if I try to save the file a second time it will actually save, but mostly not.


2. I'm unable to delete these files from my Calibre program.


3. When I try to save my Calibre library, I have had the following errors:

calibre, version 2.1.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>error</b>1920, 'CreateFile', 'The file cannot be accessed by the system.')

calibre 2.1 isfrozen: True is64bit: False

and also...

*in fact I just now tried to Copy the Library and usually I have 441 authors saved and I now only have 67.


4. When I try to save the library to a backup file by saving to disk, I also get the following error which has been between 114 and 158 pages long:

calibre, version 2.3.0
WARNING: Could not save some books: Could not save some books, Click the show details button to see which ones.

id:293
Unknown error

id:1210

id:1617

id:1032
Unknown error

...and so on.....

If anyone is able to help I would be very grateful.

Are you storing your library on a networked drive? (If so, don't!!)

I've never had this problem before. It's a recent thing - in the last month or so and I've been storing my kindle info on here for about 3 years.

From those errors your calibre library folder has a whole bunch of invalid files in it. Your best bet for recovery is to create a new empty library and then right click the add books button, choose add books from sub-folder, one book per folder) and select the old calibre library folder.

I have over 1500 files on my kindle. Would there possibly be a quicker way?

I just tried highlighting the whole library in Calibre and copied it to the calibre Library - minus those books I couldn't save to my kindle nor delete. I got this error:

In order to copy from library to library, you would need a healthy database.

Suggestions anyone? Hopefully other than the option of re-adding one at a time. Which I will do if I have no other option....

This is not one at a time, it will do a batch job and import any available old metadata as well:

Have you checked to ensure there are no physical errors on the disk; unreadable blocks?

No, do you mean through Windows, My Computer? I can't see an option to check the disk. How would I do that?

Hi, I'm unable to copy to my Calibre Library. It's been fine until just recently. The error I'm receiving is:

I am getting a communication error between Calibre and my Fire. It was working previously. The error appears somewhat similar to the one posted previously. I am not computer savvy and have as of yet not determined how to create a new thread so am replying to this one. Here is the error I receive:

Error appears to be related to microSD card. Sending to the device's main memory for the same books produced no error. Is there an easy way to transfer ebooks from main memory to MicroSD?

Maybe the Send to the Card didn't work because the card is 'flaky' or 'full', so even if there is an 'easy way' it might be better to make sure the card's OK first. A Kobo expert should be able to tell you if/how that is can be done.
