Calibre on a MacBook Pro (late 2016, TB)
I have a new MBP (late 2016, TB) which only has USB-C. I attached my PocketBook Touch Lux 3 using an adapter (USB-C to USB-A). When I attach the reader it doesn't ask whether to use the PC Link or Charge, so I guess the PocketBook may be the problem. Calibre doesn't seem to see the device either.
I tried to activate the PC Link manually but that doesn't seem to help since nothing happens.
Any advice on how to proceed with this?

Thanks in advance,
erich.

Does the Mac itself see the device (does it show in the Finder)? If not then Calibre isn't going to see it either.

Sorry it took me so long to get back.
Turns out if I don't use the original USB cable that comes with the Pocketbook the computer won't see it
