PocketBook Touch HD 3: Error communicating with device
When attempting to send .epub's to my PB via Calibre, I'm getting the error message:
Quote:
When I use my file manage to manually inspect the folder on my device, I notice that the folder is lowercase "books", not "Books" as Calibre is attempting to send the book to. I've already tried rebooting and deleting the driveinfo.calibre and metadata.calibre files, and downgrading Calibre to 5.9.0 didn't change the error. I'm using Linux, if that makes a difference, so there might be some case sensitivity issues involved? I didn't have any problems with Calibre and my PB when it was running firmware 5.19; Calibre started giving me those error messages after I upgraded to PB firmware 6.1.

Why is this filesystem being mounted case-sensitively? In any case simply rename the folder to Books instead of books and you should be fine. Or configure the driver in calibre by right clicking the device icon and change the folder name there.

When I attempt to rename "books" to "Books", I get: /media/myuserid/PB632$ mv books Books mv: replace 'Books', overriding mode 0000 (---------)? Quote:

If you cant rename the folder, there are filesystem issues on the device. Try resetting it.
