Currently Calibre Companion is the only software that uses WDC and the connection is only activated by user command, from the device.
Simply Arming WDC does not violate the 2 device rule.

ducks. I didn't do anything with the "Sharing" icon on Calibre. When I connected my eReader Calibre popped open a window saying something like 'device detected.' Then an additional tab appeared at the top something like 'transfer to device.' When I clicked on that it sent the highlighted file to my eReader.
The problem for me started when I (with the eReader connected) went to add a file from my usb drive to Calibre. Then it got really problematic when I transferred that file to my eReader.
I was just exploring now and when I (from "Sharing") press "connect to folder" I get a window (listing my files) titled "select folder to open as device."
I'm pretty sure that's what you're referring to but as I said I didn't do that.
My bottom line is I want to avoid the sort of mistake that I made before. As it stands I would just be adding my files to Calibre NOT from the usb drive but from the computer somewhere. (If I have them on the usb drive I'll transfer them to the computer and then add them to Calibre.) Then I should be okay to do the transference to the eReader, right? Or would it be wise to dismount and remove the usb drive first just to be safe?
I'm still not absolutely sure what the two device rule is.
