I can still send books to my device but I can't see what books I have on the device.

That's an error sending a file to the device. Usually simply rebooting both the device and the computer fixes it. If not you can either reset your device or use one of the wireless file transfer methods described here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....kindle-fire-hd

I can still send books to my device, I just can't see the books on my Kindle.

I just attempted to use Calibre with my Lenovo Yoga android tablet for the first time and am also encountering communications errors:

calibre, version 2.53.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Failed to get storage info for device.

MTPError: Failed to get storage info for device.

My laptop is running linux mint 17.2 x64 here. The above error is from an attempt to send a book to the device, I get a similar failure simply attempting to use it with Calibre. I have both the Kindle and Nook apps on the tablet, so I should be able to send both types of books there. I was able to manually copy a book from my Calibre library to the /kindle directory and the app can read it there, so it should be possible to get this working.

I ended up ejecting my sd card and reinserting it back in, fixed my problem.
