It's a known issue, due to Kindle Scribe now using MTP transfer protocol instead of USB Mass Storage like all other Kindles after a firmware update on 2023/08/30.

https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/issues/508

No way to fix unless KCC or Calibre update their code to use a python MTP library, if it's even possible.

UPDATE:

Hacky workaround:

Plug in a flash drive that will pretend to be kindle. Must be fat32 or msdos fat
Create system/thumbnails and documents folders at root of flash drive. Based on https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/bl.../kindle.py#L42
Convert with KCC and thumbnails will be generated there.
Copy the thumbnails onto your Scribe in the appropriate location. On Mac use MTP client Android File Transfer. Remember, on mac/linux only 1 program can access mtp at a time, so calibre running will interfere.
To create a fake physical flash drive, refer to https://support.apple.com/guide/disk...skutl11888/mac
and use msdos format.
