Device: TrekStor eBook Reader 4ink
No connection to device Trekstor eBook Reader 4ink

Hi - I just bought a new TrekStor eBook Reader 4ink and just wanted to start right away with setting up my eBook library with Calibre, whose advanced features I appreciate very much, on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8).

- The device appears as volume "eReader" on my desktop.

- Calibre (latest version 0.8.69) setup wizard offers no TrekStor device, so I've chosen Generic eInk Device

- No Device button appeared.

Before following Kovids Instructions, I checked the plugin list - there IS a green Trekstor E-book player device interface (1.0.0) by Kovid Goyal - but Calibre doesn't find my device nonetheless...

I went to Prefs / Miscellaneous and pressed Get information to setup the user defined device and followed the procedure, recieving output:

Code:
USB Vendor ID (in hex): 0x0x1e68L
USB Product ID (in hex): 0x0x5cL
USB Revision ID (in hex): 0x0x100L
Then I customized the User defined USB driver with the values and even remembered to enter a folder name on that deviced, applied and closed the prefs panel.

...to no avail.

I ran the debug device detection feature, but when after about half an hour it didn't produce any output, I canceled the process.

So far I can export eBooks to the Reader using the "save to disk" feature (which is really helpful), but I'd appreaciate the possibility to "device-connect" to my Reader.

Is it just, that it is a new device (Firmware displayed in the devices Prefs dialogue is EBR40-WB-1.0.42) or is there anything I could do better?

Thanx for any help in advance = Professor Hora
