The simplest solution is to turn Unpluggable on before closing calibre. That way calibre won't attempt to connect to the device when started. Of course, I'd never remember to do that. Maybe the plugin author could add an option to do this. That has a big advantage over disabling the driver as you don't need to restart calibre to re-enable it.

Nor would I... remember to turn Unpluggable on before closing calibre... so why would we expect the OP to remember.
I can't see what's wrong with the expecting the user to enable the device via Preferences -
providing that will trigger the scan or there's some simple way to make that happen if it wasn't done at startup.
How about having an option in the
Connect to device drop down -
Enable and scan device now. Then the OP (and others with a similar need - like me) could disable before starting and select that option as when needed.
