Hello

I was recently given a Kindle that I am enjoying. It looks like there is a lot to learn from this site. I am having a problem. If someone has covered this already I'm sorry for the duplication, but I have not found the link.

When I plug my Kindle Touch in to a PC running Linux, the system puts the icon of an audio player on the screen with the text “Kindle” beneath the icon and immediately starts an audio player (which I shutdown). I can use the icon to open a File Browser window that I can use to copy files to the Kindle. However Calibre does not recognize the Kindle.

I have tried the fixes in both the:

“Why is my device not detected in linux?” and
“My device is getting mounted read-only in linux, so calibre cannot connect to it?”

subsections of the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of the on-line Calibre Users Manual.¶

Any ideas?

Hi treebyriversw and welcome to MobileRead. This is the Intro section where you should introduce yourself.

And you'll have a better chance of solving your problem if your post your question in our Kindle where all our Kindle addicts, er, fans hang out.

Well, first, this is the Introduce Yourself forum. This is the place where members.....well...introduce themselves.

Why not take the time and courtesy to introduce yourself to us, then look around the site.

You'll have a better chance of getting your question asked if you post to the forum specific to your device.

It sounds to me like a question for the calibre forum.

Meanwhile, welcome to MobileRead.
