With the new Apple OS Catalina 10.15 my Kindle is being seen as Read Only and I can't transfer any books from Calibre. I went to the Calibre help center and they told me to contact Apple or Amazon - probably not going to help me - but I was looking for my own solution first and found this site.

Is anyone else having this problem? What can I do?

Thanks!
Are you plugging your cord into the computer or a USB hub? If the latter, try plugging into one of the computer's USB ports. Try different ports if you can. Use a different cable than what you're using.

If those don't work, reset the PRAM and SMC if you know how to do that. I ended up doing both after my Catalina installation with great effect. They're both easy to do.
