Android Galaxy Tab not detected

[sofita226]

Hi, I moved from a Sony Reader to a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I downloaded the last version of Calibre and started a new collection.
I went to preferences and debug devide detection, here is the result:


Version: 0.8.16
USB devices on system:

Looking for devices...

Devices possibly connected: None

My PC is detecting the device (I can open the folders and see the content) and also I discovered that Calibre created a thread of folders into the SD Card:
Computer\GT-P1010\Card\Android\data\com.samsung.ebook.reader\f iles\covers\mnt\sdcard\ebook\import

What I needed was a single folder in the SD card to store the .epub files.

Thanks for your help!

From that log, the device doesn't connect as a removable USB storage media. It needs to do that in order for Calibre to be able to detect it. Try to see if there's a mass storage USB mode or something similar available.

I use Kies for my friend's Galaxy Tab

In the tab their should be settings where you can set your tab to be detected as a usb drive. Once windows detects it as a usb drive post the device detection log again.
