I've always accessed Android devices from Calibre in USB mass storage mode, and MTP is something with which I have little experience.

It's straightforward to disable auto-mounting in Ubuntu using the documented facility in dconf-editor, but now I cannot get Calibre to see the device under "Connect/Share" and "Connect for folder."

I could likely rig up something in Linux using jmtpfs or a comparable utility, which would look the same as old-style USB mass storage, but I suspect this is not what Calibre expects?
