It used to be on my Fire that once I plugged it in I'd hit the power button, slide the button on the screen and it'd connect and the screen would say some message (can't look to see what it is, it was stolen back in October) and then I could transfer books. With my HDX I don't get that message.

Let Kovid know because the last version of Calibre added the driver for the HDX.
I use Dropbox and ES File Explorer. I link my Dropbox account on ES File Explorer then while in ESFE I select net/Cloud/Dropbox then select the books to export to the books folder. If it's just one book then I just use the Dropbox app to quickly add it.
It's best to sideload the app to get latest version of ES File Explorer by going to the
developer's website. It auto updates itself so once sideloaded you don't have to worry about it.
