I am trying to get my Gen 1 Kindle to work with Calibre. The problem is that Calibre is not always seeing the SD card. Here are the details:

Running on MacBook with OS X 10.6.6
The Kindle always sees the SD card
The Mac always sees the Kindle and the SD card
Calibre always sees the device but usually does not see the SD card. When it does, it usually loses it after a few minutes, i.e. I'll send a few books to it and then it will drop off the Calibre menu. The device is still there in the Calibre menu but Card A is gone and I get a "cannot communicate with device" error.
I am also using this installation of Calibre with a Sony PRS-505 with SD card and never have any trouble with that configuration.

Wasn't able to find this problem in earlier posts via several search parameters.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thank you.
