[Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'

taratears · 08-29-2013, 09:29 AM

I've just found calibre, but I'm already having an error. I searched for it, but it didn't come up, so I figured I'd post. When I try to bring my device files into calibre's library, it says:[Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'C:\\Users\\Marie\\Desktop\\New folder (2)\\mtp:::"o221":::Internal storage/Books/A Storm of Swords - George RR Martin.pdf'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 597, in _save_books
IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: u'C:\\Users\\Marie\\Desktop\\New folder (2)\\mtp:::"o221":::Internal storage/Books/A Storm of Swords - George RR Martin.pdf'

I've tried various other files, and it still gives me the error.
I have a kindle fire hd, and windows 7

Dont try to save to disk, that wont work with mtp devices like the fire hd. Just right click the books and select add to library, this will add them into your calirbe library in a single step.
