Update: I connected my Kindle to Calibre on another older MacBook and it worked fine, just like how it used to and should. Only on my main Mac mini that it's not working anymore. It shows up as a device but I get the error when transferring of looking at books on the device. I'm sure I haven't changed any settings, on either device. Puzzling me a lot what could be doing this. Still works on my older MacBook. I tried going on Settings > Privacy & Security > Files & Folders, but Calibre isn't even showing up there for me so don't think theres any restriction?
