Hi!
I'm having a problem that I can't seem to solve.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
-------------------------------
Calibre ver 1.2
running on Win7
Kindle Fire 1
System ver 6.3.2_user_4110520
--------------------------------
Here's my process
- Basically, I connect my Kindle Fire to my computer & Calibre using USB
- My device is detected by Calibre
- I highlight the book(s) I want to send to my Fire
- I click "send to device"
- Calibre finishes sending my book(s)
- A green checkmark & "Main" appears in the Column called "On Device" beside the book(s) sent to the device
- I disconnect my Kindle Fire & go to the Documents section (or ANY section) or the Carousel and they are not there
In Calibre, if I go to Device --> Show books in Main Memory of the device,
-- The book(s) I just transferred show up and I'm able to open them in the Calibre viewer
On my computer, if I open a Folder to the Kindle Device (H: ) Drive and look in the folder called Documents,
-- The book(s) I just transferred show up as both an .APNX and .MOBI file
BUT when I try to find the book on my Kindle Fire device, it's not there on either the carousel or under Documents. I check under every section -- nada.
-------------------------
I have tried removing the Kindle device from Calibre and re-adding/reconfiguring it -- several times
I'm using the latest version of Calibre, but I had this issue on the last version as well
I have been able to send books to the Kindle Fire with earlier versions of Calibre with no problems. I only noticed it with the last 2 version of Calibre that I had installed.
I am able to email books to my Kindle with no issues.
I am able to transfer documents such as PPT presentations via USB with no issues.
--------------------------
I did notice that Win7 brings up a dialog box every time I connect my device asking
Do you want to scan and fix Kindle (H
"There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it."
--> Scan and fix
--> Continue without scanning
I always choose Continue without scanning because I've been assuming that Win7 has no idea what the data on a Kindle Fire is supposed to look like ... I know it's a computer, but it's using a different OS and I didn't want to take any risks.
----------------------------
I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
