I've got today a brand new Kindle Fire HD 8.9, Calibre does not recognize it. In the "Debug Device Detection" window it shows :

-------

calibre 0.9.11 isfrozen: True is64bit: True
Linux-3.7.1-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i5-3570K_CPU_@_3.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.2 Linux ('64bit', 'ELF')

USB devices on system:

No disabled plugins

Devices possibly connected: None

Note that product ID for the Kindle is 0x8 - I found in this forums message where Kovid mentions that Kindle Fire product IDs known to him are 0x6 and 0x7 (and 0xa after he updated Calibre as a result of the message), see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...11&postcount=2

Is this a new version of Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with new USB IDs?

If this is so, would it be possible to update Calibre to include these IDs into a list of known Kindle Fire HD devices?
