The original build of 129 had a bug in it. Try re-downloading it.

Most likely your anti-virus is preventing calibre from detecting the device. Kaspersky is particularly bad when it comes to this.

So does that mean I give up the use of Calibre?

You're right - the problem is caused by Kaspersky. I turned off the malware scanning & Calibre can access the reader
