Device: PocketBook Inkpad Color calibre v6.28.1 macOS 13.6 (Intel)

I had been having difficulty getting my Mac to see the Inkpad when it was connected, thus calibre couldn't see it either. I finally got to work somehow (just re-doing things I'd already tried such as trying different cables and computers and factory resetting the device), and now the PocketBook shows up for my Mac and for calibre, but the plugin doesn't recognise the device as a PocketBook

It might be reported using a different device ID than the standard PocketBook one. I'm guessing the Google/Android one. That should be easy to fix.

I need some more details however. Ideally we'd use the debug output of the plugin, but we can start with Calibre's device list. Could you connect the device, and post the output of the dialog via:

Feel free to remove the serial.

I know this is an older thread, but I'm running into the same issue with my Pocketbook Inkpad 4 (running calibre 7.12)

Here is the log from Calibre:

Think this is different, as you're on Windows.

I'll have to take a look, even check things still work. From working on AVATeR I know the HD2 uses a different USB vendor identifier (VID), but yours (Lux 2) seem to report the regular 0xfffe, so it should be detected properly. Thanks BTW for adding the debug log!

Are you by chance using VirtualCD, or any drive virtualizer?

Thanks for your time to look into it.

I'm not using any drive virtualization. I'll try the plugin on a different system, to see if that makes a difference.
