Unable to send book to kindle

Hi, I was trying to send some books to my Kindle Paperwhite (7 Gen) a few days ago and kept getting an 'Error Communicating with Device' message.

This is the full error message:

calibre, version 5.36.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'E:\\documents\\Arthur, Keri'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 592, in _upload_books
File "calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 331, in upload_books
File "calibre\devices\usbms\device.py", line 891, in create_upload_path
File "os.py", line 223, in makedirs
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'E:\\documents\\Arthur, Keri'

Am I doing something wrong? I have tried the 30s reboot of the kindle, uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre, and updated my Kindle too.

Do a reset of your kindle. Or reformat the E: drive assuming that is indeed the kindle's drive on your computer.
