I am trying to connect my Kindle Paperwhite (10th Generation) to my computer running Ubuntu 18.04 via USB in order to transfer e-books. However, the device is not recognised by my computer. Other mass storage devices work fine.

Any ideas?

• Make sure the USB cable you are using isn't a cable designed only for charging. Sometimes USB cables that come with wall chargers don't actually have the pins/wires in them to make a data connection.

• Check that the Kindle is set to MTP mode if this is an option for your device instead of "Camera" or "Charge Only"
