Calibre does not recognize my Kindle Paperwhite Gen. 11
Calibre does not recognize my Kindle Paperwhite Gen. 11 (my new one); my Kindle from 2014 is recognized !!
Here is my error-log from Calibre "error diagnosis at device recognition" Spoiler:
No, I don't want to upgrade to Windows 8 or 10 or whatever; my old Kindle works fine and so should do the new one |

Like many other NEWER things, The OS has a minimum. In this case, you want a 3rd party to do additional effort, just so YOU can love an obsolete OS (with no security patches). Note: I do have an XP pro system. I keep it to run old external HW that never had a driver for W10. I can't even get a version of RDC that could be used to connect to my W10pro system. No NAS access as the security protocol has evolved. If you want to keep that paperwat gen 11, the email your books to it |

If you want to use Calibre with your new Paperwhite, your only option is to upgrade to Windows 10/11. Compatibility with new devices won't be added to old versions of Calibre, only the current one.

I expect you could run from source and add in the extra USB ids you'd find in the current version

There are other reasons too, why the Kindle Paperwhite is bulls..t:
- you cannot hide the Startpage (wrong info in Manual, shows how to do it) - no possibility to downgrade firmware - support guy says: "no more support of MOBI, AZW3 and AZW I sent it back and bought a Pocketbook HD3 !! |

I'm hoping Amazon drop Mobi but that's unlikely for the foreseeable future. |
