Hi Tim,

Thanks for the response. I started having errors using drag and drop
with Windows to the Kobo as well as with Calibre. Previously I'd only
drag and drop one or two small books at a time...whereas with Calibre I
might queue up a few and move them in bulk. But when I copied the Kobo
contents to the desktop and then reformatted the Kobo and dragged
multiple items at a time I was receiving delayed write fail errors.
Talking to Kobo support they now seem to think it's actually a hardware
issue with the Kobo itself and it looks like they are going to replace it.

Regards,

Geoff
