Calibre does not recognise new Kindle

[Yassatoubab]

Hi

I've just bought a new Kindle Paperwhite (2019 edition). I wanted to put books on it, but Calibre does not recognize the device.

I on Ubuntu 18.04.
Everything on my computer has been updated.

My computer detects the device.
Calibre detects my older device, Kindle Paperwhite (2018 edition).


Here is the output of the debug mode:

Any suggestions on what I can try?

Update calibre the version you are using is ancient.

Thanks!

And sorry ...
I assumed Calibre would be updated automatically together with all the other programs.

Don't use the Repo version. It is out of date the day your version of Ubuntu is released. Un install it (Libraries and settings remain)

Use the command line found here https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
