If you can't get the Kindle to show up in your file manager, it will never be seen by Calibre of course. |

I have a multi-plug cable that I have no idea if it's charge only or not. I've never tried it for data. I do have a small USB-A to USB-C cable that's charge only.

And USB-C cables* can be charge only, 4 wire (i.e. no USB 3.x support, no USB-C Alt DP, no USB-C analog Audio Alt, no USB-C ethernet, no USB-C power signalling but USB1.x & USB 2.x data only) or full USB (USB 3.x, or power & DP video).
It's a horror story. Most USB-C sockets on PCs or gadgets don't support all USB-C features, and even when they do some won't work via a hub. [* Inc USB-A to USB-C. A USB 3.x on USB-A has an extra 5 connections at the front of computer socket or at back of cable socket and and might have SS or blue colour at connector.] Qualcomm high power USB (up to 20V & 100W) can use a 4 pin USB-A plug at one end. Other high power schemes need a fully wired USB-C plug or a 9 connection USB-A (rare). Last edited by Quoth; 01-02-2025 at 03:29 PM. |

In any case, Calibre is not the issue. I went to Wally World and bought a micro to usb cable made to transfer data while charging.
Still nothing. My computer does not see the device. I'm going to have to go to a library and try my oasis on one of their computers. I can't think of anything else. This oasis is from 2018. Is it possible they made the usb port for just charging? Edited to add: I tried downloading calibre right from their website using the command for terminal. In the terminal, I received this message: You are missing the system library libxcb-cursor.so.0 I have no idea what that means or how I get it, so I went to the software manager and downloaded their most recent version. If I can figure out how to install the program from the calibre website, of course I would uninstall the mint version and do it. However, as I stated, Calibre is not the problem.

I had the 2018 Oasis. Sideloading via USB worked perfectly well on my Windows computer. But it's possible that it's faulty, if you bought it used.

My wife got it new in '18. She never tried transferring anything via usb, always wifi downloads. Mostly library, but now we're in Maine and they went to cloudlibrary, so no more kindle reader books. If it's faulty, it's always been so. We just didn't know.

More likely that it's some setting on your Linux computer. Can you try with Windows?

Remember Linux and Macs can only have 1 MTP device mounted at a time.
I don't know when Amazon switched over to MTP on their devices. |
