Calibre reports error 'reading metadata'

[Cefn]

Binary package hint: calibre

With the Kindle plugged in and on Calibre's first launch it throws up an error box like this...

calibre, version 0.7.44
WARNING: Failed to read metadata: Failed to read metadata from the following:

Kindle
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/add.py", line 128, in start
    title = self.add(id, opf, cover, name)

    with open(path, 'rb') as f:

AFTER REPLUGGING

If I plug the kindle back in again, then it reports a similar error...

Hello Cefn,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Calibre. You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Calibre since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Calibre better.
