Kindle doesn't show up in Calibre on iMac with Big Sur

Thanks for the settings advice...I did as you suggest but still no love. Any other ideas of why a kindle wouldn't be recognized in this situation? It worked under previous incarnations of Mac OS prior to this upgrade, so I am pretty sure you are correct that it is something about Big Sur. Thanks!

Go into System Preferences on your Mac==> Security & Privacy ==> Privacy ==> Full Disk Access. Select the "+", and browse to Calibre in the Applications fold. Select Calibre, and make sure that there is a check mark beside Calibre in the scrolling window. Close the window.
