Maybe this is not the right thread, but Calibre fails to connect to Kindle after the latest (8.33) update.




Calibre, version 0.8.33

ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Failed to access files in the main memory of your device. You should contact the device manufacturer for support. Common fixes are: try a different USB cable/USB port on your computer. If you device has a "Reset to factory defaults" type of setting somewhere, use it. Underlying error: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: 'F:\\driveinfo.calibre'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 81, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 312, in _get_device_information
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\usbms\driver.py", line 106, in get_device_information

The computer recognizes the Kindle OK.

Any advice would be appreciated.
