When I was using my Kindle Fire HD7 with Calibre, I was able to convert books and load them onto my Kindle. However with my new Kindle Fire HD8 I cannot even see that my device if seen by Calibre. In the menu bar there is not an icon for "Device". Hopefully kovidgoyal the creator may have a solution. Looking at the above output I did compare the serial number shown to the serial number of my Kindle Fire HD8 and it is the same. At the end it indicates: "Not a suitable MTP device, ignoring No suitable MTP devices found." Hopefully there is just a setting somewhere that I need to adjust. I think that Calibre is a wonderful program and hope that I can discover how to get my new Kindle recognized by Calibre and proceed with putting ebooks on it from various sources. Thanks kovidgoyal for this great program. JD |
The way to solve this is open disk management,you will see the kindle there,click change drive letter to say K and close disconnect the kindle and re connect it will show as a removable drive K and will be recognised
