I know I can save to a folder on the hard disk, and then manually copy across, but it's a slight annoyance. Is there a technical reason that Calibre can't recognise drive names of this form?
MTP is problematic. Frankly, I have issues with it even when I use good old Windows Explorer (for some reason, I'm unable to delete or rename files/folders). You can't really treat it like normal mass storage. Try to check the USB connectivity settings on your tablet. Some Android devices allow using MSC (USB Mass Storage Class) instead of MTP. Another thing, if your device has an SD card slot, I think the SD card will connect to the PC via MSC (again, probably need to check USB connectivity settings).
