Bug Description
Since version 0.9.19 the ability to see the books on my Odys Leon - which is listed by Calibre as an Aluratek colour - has vanished. It used to show the books on the device and the main library would also highlight these with a tick. Now I have a blank device despite the fact there are alot of books loaded on it. The latest version 0.9.35 says it sends books to the device but they never appear. The device appears in all versions of Calibre but the contents of the device do not.
This hasn't been noticed until now as I've not had a reason to try and load more on.
I've worked my way through the versions and can confirm that it works fine using 0.9.19 but goes wrong from 0.9.20 onwards.
I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 now running Calibre 0.9.19 but this bug has been replicated in versions 0.9.20, 0.9.25, 0.9.30,0.9.35.
The Odys Leon has not been firmware updated since purchase (pretty sure there isn't a new firmware as support from the manufacturer is non existent!) so something changed between versions 0.9.19 and 0.9.20 to cause this.
The aluratek color driver was last changed in 2010, see /github. com/kovidgoyal/ calibre/ blame/master/ src/calibre/ devices/ misc.py

So I dont see how it could possibly have broken between 0.9.19 and
0.9.20. Either your device is now being detected as something else or
something else is going on. You might be able to get some useful
information by running calibre in debug mode (click the preferences menu
and select restart in debug mode).
