Problems with connetcing my Kindle

Creteo07 · 01-14-2023, 10:57 AM

When I connect my Kindle into the PC, calibre reports and error in the communication with the device like this:

calibre, version 6.11.0
ERROR: Error: Error en la comunicación con el dispositivo

[Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'D:\\metadata.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 88, in run
File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 540, in _books
File "calibre\devices\kindle\driver.py", line 434, in books
File "calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 313, in books
File "calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 466, in sync_booklists
File "calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 463, in write_prefix
OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: 'D:\\metadata.calibre'

I don't know if anyone knows why it happens or how to solve it.

Thanks for your time!

Open Explorer.
What drive letter was given to the Kindle by Windows (I suspect D

switch to that and see if you can open any files there (notepad can open with metadata.calibre JUST DON'T save.

I suspect the kindle (drive) is either corrupt (Windows might be able to repair) or it became read-only
