I tried to use USER_DEFINED device plugin in Calibre, by entering USB IDs into configuration dialog of the user defined device plugin, and disabling Kindle Fire plugin; after restart, Calibre still did not recognize the device, but the "Debug device detection" now says:

----------

DeviceError: Unable to detect the USER_DEFINED disk drive. Either the device has already been ejected, or your kernel is exporting a deprecated version of SYSFS.

----------

Is this because USER_DEFINED plugin can't work with device that uses MTP protocol even if it knows it's USB IDs?
