Kindle Scribe not showing up as connected in Calibre

arnyeinstein · 02-08-2026, 05:12 AM

Hi

I have problems connecting my Kindle Scribe to Calibre. When I connect my Kindle to my Windows 11 notebook, I hear that it is recognized, but it doesn't show up in Calibre. I tried different cables, different ports and changed the power settings for my USB, but nothing solved the problem. I can connect the scribe to calibre on another computer, so Scribe and the cable are not the problem.
Any help would be appreciated!

Look in Preferences: Sharing for 'ignored devices' in case it got accidentally added. If none, this will not even show up

BTW Linux based OS can only have 1 MTP device connected. So if you are NOT on Windows, this may be your issue.

Thanks, however no ignored devices at all.

I added two user plug-ins and activated all the deactivated plug-ins. Now it works again.

It was just a slight possibility. (Happened to me 1 time probably due to something dumb I did. Maybe 2 e-readers attached at the same time as I have devices that use 3 different USB cables) It has not happened again.
BTW there are Valid entries in mine for devices I have no wish to have Calibre manage, as I will NEVER read on those.
