This is an annoyance, but can be worked around. The problem is this:
I set up Calibre by starting content server and start wireless device connection.
On my Kindle Fire 8 I make sure Wi-Fi is enabled then open CC and click on "connect". I get an error message saying that the default book folder is read- only and CC cannot use it to import books into. So then I have to reset the default folder into which I import books. (This is done through the CC program)
but the odd thing is that I reset the default folder to the same one that CC has refused, and after resetting it, the program works fine. The folder I use is the one that Kindle Fire uses as a default (/storage/emulated/0/Books). Has anyone else had this problem? If so, I am saying that this is a workable solution, but it would be nice if someone else has a better one. Thanks.
