After I installed vers. 7.5.1 (with some problems because some processes weren't shut down at the beginning), Calibre was unable to communicate with my Kindle 2. The problem continues with 7.5.2. I get the message "Device: Amazon Kindle detected," and "Jobs: 1," and there is a lot of disk activity, but with the Library icon is depressed, the "On Device" column remains blank. If I click on the Device icon, the display (table) of Kindle contents is blank below the column headings. Even after waiting more than 10 minutes, the contents aren't displayed.

There is no response to the "Eject connected device" command. The "Quit" command produces the "Active jobs" warning that Calibre is communicating with the device, but sometimes succeeds in shutting down Calibre. Other times even the Windows (Vista) task manager can't shut it down, and I need to physically unplug the Kindle. When disconnected, the Kindle operates normally.

I tried restarting the Kindle and also rebooting the computer. Any suggestions?
