The line near the bottom: Memory ERROR
You can try rebooting the device, but it (the storage) may be failing. |

uninstall calibre and install the 64 bit version. If that does not fix it, try deleting the metadata.calibre file from the root of the device.

Today, there seems to be no trouble. Plugged in and away it went the first time.
So it could be the actual Kindle memory failing. Not even a year old!! Thanks for the quick replies |
