Calibre Error communicating with device

togetic77 · 11-15-2018, 02:29 AM

I have a Kindle Fire hd 10 64gb, and resently i've been getting "error in communicating with device" When trying to connect to calibre.

I've deleted and reinstalled calibre and my ebook library.
Did a hard reset on my kindle
Rebooted the computer and kindle
I don't want to master reset my kindle if i don't have too.
Can anyone please assist me with my problem. Thanks

This is the error that i'm getting:

the only other thing to try is to look for and delete the metadata.calibre file on the device.
