Kovids answer implies that it is blocked by Calibre not ANDROID if it is calibre then it can be fixed; surely even with a warning message that scanning this folder will cause slowness.

Plus if the folder is always com.amazon.kindle/files/books then surely an exception can be made to this block for this one subfolder in the code assuming it is calibre block?

As this is the default download location for Fire HD then it either needs fixed or a warning message displayed otherwise people will wonder why calibre will not see their books on a fire.

thanks
I see!
The issue is all the other stuff, not the books, that all gets looked at to see if it is a book
Calibre Companion lets you configure alternate locations, why not Kindle. Amazon's Walled garden. People should only want to buy books at Amazon and never use something like Calibre
