Again, my thanks to kovidgoyal for his reply. I did not see anything turning at the bottom right, so decided to install Calibre on my wife's laptop and see if it would work there. First we installed Calibre 64 edition and it did not work. My wife uninstalled this and then installed the regular Windows Calibre and then she could see the Kindle and the device icon was in the menu bar. So I went through all this on my desktop and installed the regular Calibre for Windows but still it did not work. So I uninstalled every version of Calibre and then installed the regular Calibre for Windows and finally it worked!! I've been adding, converting and moving many of my downloaded ebooks to my Kindle and am very happy. Hopefully it will continue to work. Thanks again kovidgoyal for all your help. Calibre is a great and amazing program.
