that is a kindle + windows issue, not a calibre issue.

what, if anything do you see in My Computer.? has windows done its new hardware... installing drivers.. routine yet ?

some folks, me included, had trouble getting windows to see the kindle fire and thus to install a correct driver.
so try the verious options of connect usb cable when KF is powered off, then switch on, OR connect when KF is asleep, then wake it.

once windows can see it OK as a drive, then calibre should work ok. . And once windows has sorted its drivers out, it should work ok every time after that. call amazon help if necessary, or use the mayday thingie if you have it.

me, i connect wirelessly, it is much less hassle: look at calibre companion app, or install the free ES file explorer app & configure it to see shared folders on your PC
