It's the only computer in the house right now. I won't be able to try another computer until next week sometime.

I really don't get it. I know the usb port is OK because I just used it to install mint. Just for the heck of it, I plugged in my Samsung phone from 2018 (I know, I know...) and there it was - android device. Plug the oasis back in, and nothing.

I've searched everywhere I can possibly think of, and I can't find any example of this problem.

It may be something with your Linux. That's why trying Windows is a good idea.

I decided not to wait and made a special trip into town. Had to know. It's the Oasis. I plugged it into a Windows 10 machine in my local library and nothing. Plugged in my phone and it popped right up. It even gave the make and specific model.

I have no idea what to do, but I'm going to start a new thread with any other questions I might be pondering since this is not a Calibre issue at all. However, I will probably come back and see if someone can help with installing the recent version from the calibre website, but that will be a new thread here.

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions.

Out of curiosity do you have any USB Flash drives? If so, are those recognized by your computer?

The Oasis is probably faulty then. You can still load books to it by registering it to your Amazon account and sending books via Send to Kindle (website or app). If you don't want to use Amazon at all, there's send.djazz.se

And I would try a factory reset, just in case.
