Anyway, I remembered that I got some software called "iMazing" when I bought a app bundle a while back and thought I'd give it a try.

Success.

Although I still can't connect my device directly to Calibre (thanks Apple) you can transfer large numbers of files via iMazing and, I'm assuming, similar apps.

Basically, I now connect with iMazing, go to Apps & select Marvin. Then select "Copy to Device" and I select the Calibre directory and then "search" for ".epub" and by default it returns the epubs in date order. I select the multiples of files I want and it transfers them to the device.

It's not as elegant as using Calibre directly, but it gets the job done.

This may work, but the software is $34.99. Can you transfer files with the trial version or is it limited? Jailbreaking may be the way to go. I'm still running iOS 9.0.02. For those of your that jailbreak, can you still connect your device to itunes to transfer music, movies, etc..? Or does itunes recognize that it's jailbroken and refuse to communicate with it?
