1) Try rebooting both the device and your computer
2) If that does not work, find the files driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre on the device
and delete them (you can use Windows Explorer or a file manager on the device itself to do this)
3) Reset the device

If none of those work, you can use one of the wireless communication methods described here:

1) Tried that but no joy.
2) Found the driveinfo file and deleted it but there was no metadata file on the Fire. Rebooted the Fire and reconnected to the PC and Calibre. Same problem, still can't get the list of books from the Fire to Calibre.
3) Haven't yet had time to try connecting wirelessly but fail to see why that will work if connecting via USB cable doesn't?
