Thanks for replying Eric and Joe.

Yes, calibre is very good, and I've at last managed to get it to acknowledge the kindle scribe, but only by deleting most of the mtp programs that I'd been installing to try and get the scribe and my computer communicating with each
  other! And finally I closed my file manager and restarted calibre for the umph time, and it displayed ... but I still can't copy files to it. The error report is shown below -

=====
  calibre

So now my obvious question is what do I need to install to satisfy the 'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4'' requirement please?

I've tried installing 'python3-anyqt' but I'm still getting the same error report as shown above, meanwhile calibre is unable to show me what books are on the device!

Computers? Grrh!

Thanks for listening    
    Sharon.
