Tried it; didn't work. "Send to device" is unavailable. This was actually a step back.

This has probably been asked, but is there any plan for working with azw in the future? Much to my horror, I discovered that all those books I sent to my Kindle by the Whispernet "convenience" route are now AZW and i can't seem to get Calibre to change the metadata.

unless the books are topaz, if you change the file extension from .awz to .prc, you should be able to import them into calibre. You will need to unDRM, first however. I unDRM and change the file extension all at the same time.

Can people using Windows please run the following with the Kindle plugged in.
Code:
calibre-debug -c "import wmi; print [(str(drive.PNPDeviceID), drive.Partitions) for drive in wmi.WMI().Win32_DiskDrive()]"
and

Code:
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.devices.scanner import DeviceScanner; from calibre.devices.kindle.driver import KINDLE; s = DeviceScanner(); s.scan(); print s.is_device_connected(KINDLE);"

Check if there is a ticket at http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ and if there isn't open one.

Incidentally, when my TODO stack winds down a little, I'm planning on adding email support to calibre, so that you can have calibre email news it downloads and converted files to you.

0.4.132 has some changes to the detection code. It should solve the non-detection issue.

I was also able to turn one of my Lit files into Mobi and send it to my Kindle flawlessly. It detected my Kindle with no problem! I'm used to using Caliber because of mine PRS-505 so the fact that I can continue buying lit books outside of Amazon and make both an LRF, ePud, or Mobi version is fantastic!

Thanks to all the developers for this, I'm having a ball trying it out.

My Kindle (and its SD card) are being recognized correctly, but when I try to send a file to the SD card, it's not being placed into the "documents" folder. It works correctly when I send to the Kindle's main memory.

Am I doing something wrong (missing a setting somewhere)?
