Connecting a Kindle

Hi Ralph I'm Peter an independent advisor, have you tried connecting your kindle to another USB port and do you have another cable you could try incase it's damaged?

Next try charging the kindle for 30 minutes then perform a hard reset.... To restart your Kindle, leave the device connected to the computer, press and hold the power button for about 40 seconds or until the device restarts automatically. If your device restarts
automatically before 40 seconds has passed, release the Power button. If your device does not automatically restart after 40 seconds, press the power button to turn it on.

Still not working? Try connecting it as a camera. when you connect Kindle to your PC, slide down to reveal the sliding menu and you will see Connection Options in the notification bar. Set the option Connect as camera. If you cannot find it from the drop-down
list, try to select it from Settings and Storage on your device. As absurd as this sounds, this method solved the problem for a number of users.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers... The cause might be due to the Windows 10 Kindle driver is missing or install failed. In this case, your Kindle is missing. You will see a device with a yellow exclamation or an MTP or USB driver with an exclamation
under Portable Devices in Device Manager. So try to update Kindle driver to help to fix this Kindle not showing up

Open Device manager, expand the Portable Devices. And you will see your Kindle or MTP device

Right-click the Kindle or MTP device and choose Update Driver Software

Choose the second option: Browse my computer for driver software

Choose the bottom option: Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

Check Show compatible hardware, and the right model will list. Here choose MTP USB Device and click Next

In the Update Driver warning window, click Yes. Windows will install the compatible device driver for your Kindle

Lastly try reinstalling the kindle software:

Go to Settings and click on Apps and Features

Look for Kindle software and click Uninstall

Restart your PC

Go to the Amazon downloads page to download and install the latest Kindle Software for Windows 10

 

Kindle will not connect to computer

Can't you just email it to your kindle email address?

 

Kindle will not connect to computer

Since the latest Windows 10 update I have been unable to download ebooks from my computer to my kindle. I last transferred a book just before the update, so I am sure that is the problem.

The kindle connects to the computer. The light on the kindle shows it connected and it accepts a charge. But when I connect to Calibre the kindle is not shown.

The update was 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4103729) and it was installed on 20/06/2018.

I have two kindles and have the same problem with both.

I have tried to transfer a book direct from the computer, rather than through Calibre, and have the same problem.

Any help appreciated
