New in Calibre 6.0

Re:New in Calibre 6.0 by blowski on Monday July 11, 2022 @04:59AM (#32053778)

When I connect the Kindle via USB to a MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey, I do not see a mounted drive with files in it, just the device itself. To email the files to Kindle, I first need to convert them anyway to mobi files.

For the Kobo Libre, I can indeed see a mounted volume, but copying a file into it does not consistently make that book available for reading.

Given I don't have these problems when I use Calibre, I'd definitely say it makes my life easier.

Then you need to provide more details. I have used many versions of macOS with Kindles including 12.4 and attaching a Kindle has always shown it as an external drive (called Kindle)

What do you mean by the device itself - how does a device show up on macOS?

I'm totally fine with Calibre, so not going to bother digging any more, but thanks for the offer.
