I am running Win 7 x64 and still cannot get my Fire HD 8.9 to appear as a drive and, of course, Calibre does not recognize it. I have searched here on MR and Googled for solutions but I still cannot transfer my Calibre books. It is only recognized as a media device, not as a drive. The only solutions I have found concern XP, not Win7.

Has anyone been successful in using their Fire HD w/Calibre on Win7?
