Calibre error with kindle fire

[ShagMiester]

I can't get Calibre to read my device on two different machines...

Windows 10 build
64bit and 32 bit versions of Calibre

it reads the device metadata so very slowwwwwww, and then gives this error

Failed to create stream interface to write to object: hr=2147942406 facility=7 error_code=6 description: The handle is invalid.


Traceback (most recent call last):

WPDError: Failed to create stream interface to write to object: hr=2147942406 facility=7 error_code=6 description: The handle is invalid.



Windows 8.1 Build is also a 64 bit machine, but I have only tried the 64bit version of Calibre


Any and all help will be much apprecieated...

That's an error talking to the device, indicates the device is dying. Your options are either:

1) Reset the device, that will likely fix the error
2) Use a wireless connection method as described here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....kindle-fire-hd
