You might want to see if it shows up as a folder that can be seen via Calibre so that the Send to Folder functionality can be used?

No, unfortunately that doesn't work, either.

From what I've read (since posting my question), this appears to have been a design decision by Samsung, not to allow the device to mount as a drive letter.
I know how the content server works for Stanza, but Stanza doesn't seem to have an Android version. (I wonder if Aldiko can talk to the content server.)
So far, I have to say the Android experience has been somewhat disappointing (in ways unrelated to ebooks). I'm glad I have 30 days to decide whether to keep the device or not.
