Hi,
I'm trying to make managing my kindle with calibre as seemless as possible. For that I'm now mounting my Kindle via sshfs. However, the mounted kindle is not detected by calibre by default. Even when I symlink /mnt/us (from the kindle) to /media/Kindle (where the kindle is normally mounted when plugged in via usb) calibre doesn't detect it.
When I manually select the folder via the "Connect/Share" button, it works, but Calibre apparently doesn't recognize it as the same device it does when accessing over USB.
This is most apparent, because the Kindle Collections plugin isn't configured for this "new" device.

How do I get calibre to recognize the kindle (preferably automatically) as the same device as over usb?

As an additional question: Is it possible to automatically regenerate the Collections with the Kindle Collections plugin after every book pushed to the kindle or possibly when closing calibre? Apparently Kindle Collections has no command-line interface.
I'd also like to be able to run a command after Kindle Collections has run (`ssh kindle /mnt/us/extensions/librariansync/generate_collections.py --update-calibre`, to update the collections on the kindle).
Is that possible?
