Hi folks,

(Posting this now without the specific error text, as I'm away from my laptop and kindle for a day or two, in case someone has an idea)

Been using Calibre (currently 3.55) with my Kindle Paperwhite (it's an older model) for years.

I've got a load of PDFs (mostly academic and journal articles) on my Laptop (PC) I want to add to my Kindle via Calibre, but I'm getting an Errno13 (pemission denied) every time I try and add the PDFs to Calibre. I've tried adding them from different locations/folders and it makes no difference.

Epubs and Mobis can be added without a problem.

I've tried converting the PDFs to Epubs/Mobis but you always lose the correct line spacing.

Have looked through threads and can't find the same problem anywhere.

I'll paste the error text as soon as I can, but if anyone has ideas in the meantime that'd be great!
