Hi Stefan and Hippytaff,
An error message is showing in the Terminal, after I typed in "Calibre". Here it is:
lication: invalid style override 'gtk2' passed, ignoring it.
Available styles: Windows, Fusion
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type "usb".
Device 0 (VID=1949 and PID=0581) is a Amazon Kindle Fire HD8 Plus.

Do you have libmtp9 package installed? sudo apt install libmtp9 I am still unclear whether you selected file transfer mode in your tablet. After connection, roll down upper menu and change USB mode from charging to File transfer. It always helped here. The second option is using SD card for transfering file or using Bluetooth. Just ideas Another method is creating an own udev rule. Check this link: stackoverflow.com/questions/22713834/libusb-cannot-open-usb-device-permission-isse-netbeans-ubuntuIn short do this create a new file called 70-fire.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ paste this SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="6473", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1409", MODE="0666" save file do not forget to reload rules with: sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo service udev restart Stefan |

Thank you, Stefan. I will install the packages you listed. I had the Fire set to USB transfer, but thanks for the reminder. That is a good idea with using the SD card for file transfer: external USB drives are recognized by Bodhi immediately. so the SD card method should also work. Thanks again.

Hi Stefan,
While Calibre still won't recognize my phone, it does recognize USB drives that I ha plugged in, and I can right-click on the ebook, and send to the USB drive. Both my Fire tablet and Android phone are USB OTG capable, so I can just plug the USB drive with the ebook files on it into a USB OTG adapter, then into the phone or tablet. Problem solved. Thanks very much.

That is a workaround and glad it works for you. But still weird that your fire tablet isn't recognized automatically in Bodhi but is in Mint, which suggests something they have installed we don't. Also weird that mine is detected, but perhaps I installed something at some point that addresses this, but I dunno what.

Thank you, Enigma. Did you follow the steps that Stefan mentioned 4 comments above, starting with installing the libmtp9 package? I did that, but the other steps, like creating files and placing it in etc/udevrules.d/ folder is over my head, as I am a newbie. So I went for the workaround. But I will keep trying. Thanks again.

earlypearly, I ran into this problem, too. I know this isn't a "real" solution but for me it worked: All my Kindle library is on Amazon.com under "Content and Devices". I can just download it from there to my computer(s).
