Problem Interfacing Calibre with Lenovo IdeaPad

[datavet]

Hello,

I am attempting to attach a Lenovo IdeaPad K1 to Calibre running on a Windows 7 device. I am using Calibre version 0.8.34. I am able to see the IdeaPad from Windows Explorer and I can browse directories on the tablet. However, in Calibre, I cannot see the IdeaPad as a device. My workaround is to save the books to a directory on the Windows device. Then I use Windows Explorer to move the books to a directory on the IdeaPad. Yes, this works, but it kinda kludgy. Hopefully, there is a better way.

Hello, and thank you very much for your reply.

You provided a link to the user manual. May I ask if you are directing me to use the Calibre server or using a USB cable?

Thank you,
