I don't know why but Calibre stopped sending working with my Kindle on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bits.
Till a few time ago everything was working just fine, but now whenever I connect my Kindle and try to send some book on the main meory of the device I get this error:
calibre, version 0.8.38
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device
[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/media/Kindle/documents/Blisett, Luther'
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/media/Kindle/documents/Blisett, Luther'
I realize it is something that has to do with the permissions, so I have tried to change them using chown:
sudo chmod a+rwx /media/Kindle
but I get this error: chmod: changing permissions of 'Kindle': Read-only file system
How can I fix this?
