I've been using Calibre for a while and I love it so much that if there's ever a need for a brand ambassador, my name should be at the top of the list. It has seen me through a Nook Simple Touch, Nook Colour and now to the Fire HDX.
In that time, I've gone through 3 laptops and seen my library grow to over 15000 items.
My present laptop is a Lenovo i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00 GHz 2.60GHz, with 8.00 GB RAM, 64 -bit operating system, x64-based processor, running Windows 10 home. At present there is 21.8 GB free on the local disk, Drive D.
Now I don't actually know what all that stuff means, but my brother gave it to me as a gift and I'm grateful. As an avid reader, the first thing I did was to export my Calibre Library (save to disk), to my external hard drive and downloaded and installed Calibre 2.50.1. I was able to read and send books to my sisters' Kindle reader and Fire 7. But my HDX has presented several issues, see the error messages below.
FIRST THIS ONE.

It sees my device, but claims it can't communicate with it. I'll be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.
PS Also I've opened the Fire's internal storage using Windows Explorer, and I've noticed my books , all AZW3 are in the Documents folder, not in Books. I've read on various treads that this isn't right, but I've no idea how to fix it and I've always been able to see and read my items so far. :help:
