Do you have any idea what might be wrong? I've done the following:

1) rebooted both the device and your computer (which didn't make a difference)
2) deleted driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre on the device then
3) Reset the device

I can successfully copy a file on my (Windows 10) hard drive, then paste it to my Kindle Fire, so the usb connection is functioning. I've seen this reported several times over many years -- since my computer can communicate with the Kindle Fire, the problem seems to be with Calibre. Any thoughts on what might be wrong, and how to fix it -- not by going wireless, which is too slow, but by finding a bug fix in Calibre?

Thanks for any help.
