devide not connnected

mariofuks · 11-10-2010, 09:44 PM

I am trying to send my books to my kindle, but I keek receiving the message that de "device is nor connnected". The strange thing is that my kindle appears as a device in the Calibre toolbar and I can click on it and see the books that aree in my kindle in Calibre. I also see my kindle as a device in wondows explorer. The strange think is that the first time a used Calibre I did not have any problem sending the books to kindle. After that, I started having this problem.

Welcome to MobileRead, mariofuks

Which version of Calibre are you using? With the new ones, you don't connect your k to the computer....you use the "email" feature.

make sure you are not connecting another device like an iphone or ipad at the same time as your kindle.

I am not connecting another device. I just found out what is happennig. When I deleted the folder wth my digital books, it Clibre worked fine again. It sees like Calibre starts giving me problems after I edit metadata. I do this because I mostly manage and convert my articles which are in pdf. I put a lot of new details, like page number, volume and the name of the journal. It seems like these actions (or convertion) are responsible for Calibre strarting not functionig properly.

I use Kindle DX and Calibre 0.7.27 and I use Windows 7.

Wait you're saying that after editing metadata you can no longer send books to the device? Does the device not connected message have a show details button? If it does, click it and post the details.
