Additional note : tried to plug in Kindle to portable computer with another cable without success, i.e. unit appears as Fire in Explore but Calibre interface remains static.

Using original Kindle unit USB cable works fine : the "Get list ..." starts automatically in the Calibre.

Switching Calibre on and off with Kindle plugged in produces "Error communicating with device" ; unplugging / replugging Kindle unit starts the "Get list of books on device" routine but progress is rated as "Unavailable" while the clock keeps ticking for a time and titles seem to load in "Found objetc: " then the process stalls "Found objetc:B009ALAMEY.ticr.backup " berore Calibre stopped working "Error"

If Windows try Malwarebytes Free at https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Otherwise search for 'Malware scan for XXXXX' - where XXXXX is OSX or Linux
