				The newer the Kindle, the worse the problems.
			 
			
			Brand new Kindle 10 plus Running Linux Jammy Did all the things recommended to solve problem PC sees the Kindle. I can move files to and from it. Kindle does not see the books (epub, lit, azw, mobi) - they do not show up in the library. I can open a mobi if it is in Docs, but it is illegible. Following is the output from the debug file; Spoiler: 
 I would deeply appreciate any help. Thank you in advance Last edited by theducks; 12-02-2022 at 07:21 PM. Reason: Please use Spoiler tags for logs |

			On Linux only one program can talk to an MTP device at a time. Prevent your desktop/file manager from auto mounting it and it will work in calibre.

			One minor nit: your device is a Fire tablet. Amazon dropped the Kindle Fire name back in 2014 so what you have is a Fire 10 Plus. And as Kovid already mentioned, this line in your debug listing tells the story: Code: libusb_claim_interface() reports device is busy, likely in use by GVFS or KDE MTP device handling already LIBMTP |

			I am a new user in Linux and seem to be groping in a vast unlighted cave system. I found out how to disable mount. At least, hunar doesn't pop up with file display. I then restarted system. Calibre cannot see device. Ran Calibre in debug mode, obtained log. Spoiler: 
 If someone could 'explain like I was 5', I would appreciate it. Last edited by theducks; 12-03-2022 at 11:36 AM. Reason: spoilered |

			I use Linux Mint and the MTP works just like in windows, you plug in your kindle and calibre see it. bernie Quote:

 There are quite a few threads on Mobileread and elsewhere. Some samples are Calibre accessing MTP device under KDE5 solution and How do I disable automount for removable devices in Hardy??. Last edited by DNSB; 12-04-2022 at 02:01 PM. | |

			On my desktop (Mate) and Linux  (Mint) I can't disable MTP mount. I can on Cinnamon. So before connecting USB I go to "System Monitor" -> Processes -> gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor and Right Mouse Click "Stop Process" (do not Kill as it automatically respawns). Later after Eject in Calibre and USB removal you can "Continue" so you can get File Manager access. Some MTP devices will work in Calibre just with Right Click Unmount on the desktop Icon (my Android 4 phone), all except an Android 4 Samsung tablet work with above solution (Mars eInk, Lenovo, Alcatel, Binatone ad other Android 4 to 11). My solution will work for any Linux or BSD using gvfs to mount the USB MTP as a "drive". Last edited by Quoth; 12-04-2022 at 11:54 AM. |
