For the record, I can get my Marshmallow device to connect to the very latest calibre on Linux (Arch Linux), so it IS possible (and is not the fault of calibre that it's difficult). It's not easy, and it's not guaranteed, but I had to enable USB Debugging (Developer Options) on my Nexus 7 to get it to work.

I have nothing trying to automount my Nexus 7, so after I plug it in, I just have to manually change the USB function from Charging to File transfers (the USB function options show up in the devices system message area) and then calibre picks it right up.
