Since I upgraded to ver. 0.9.14 I haven't been able to connect my Kindle PW (firmware 5.3.0) to Calibre via USB on my Linux laptop. I have an older version (0.8.something) on a Windows laptop that DOES connect to the PW just fine.

It appears the PW is mounting read-only. WTF? If there is file system damage on the PW wouldn't that show up when mounting on Windows as well?

BTW, I also have a Kindle 4 that has no problem mounting on Calibre.
