See the example attached; this is what I see for my Scribe: USB\VID_1949.
OK, thanks for that - yes, the Colorsoft is definitely reporting itself as 1949.

Should I be able to see the amazon-cover-bug directory somewhere on the Kindle? If I browse its contents in Windows Explorer, the root directory only contains the usual documents / audible / fonts and screenshots folders, the .active_content_sandbox folder and Calibre's driveinfo and metadata files; no amazon-cover-bug directory, so it seems not to be created for some reason.
