I was just wondering if something with your Linux isn't right and using Windows it would either work or not.

I have occasionally had that problem on my 600. Doing a device shutdown and then rebooting it has always solved the problem.

A new twist: now the Kindle Touch is not being recognized by the computer. It does seem to be charging though. (The gods don't want me to read ebooks?)

Have you tried a different computer running Windows yet?

No, not yet, JS. As it is it's stuck on "Opening Book" now. I don't see anything happening until I get it un-stuck from that. Honestly, I'm on the verge of bailing on it. I had the same problem when I put a book on it via Calibre.
And Newegg is charging only $19.00 for it now. Which is a good price but for such a malfunctioning unit it's pretty unethical. |

The problem I had with Calibre was with the first PRS 300 I had before. (I returned it.) With this one I have not done anything with Calibre.
