I totally agree. It's just so counter-intuitive now. I connect the devices so I can use them on the computer. For all other purposes (my purposes anyway) that means the devices are mounted. I couldn't even fathom being able to use an unmounted device. On Windows it seems like all the devices have to be mounted, and calibre works fine with all. calibre on Linux doesn't care if my Lollipop devices are mounted or not, but the Marshmallow devices have to be: connected and automounted, then unmounted, then I can start calibre and the devices are recognized. No other sequence of steps will work with my Marshmallow devices, and if I restart calibre, I have to disconnect the device and go through all that voodoo again. I still can't wrap my head around being able to use an unmounted device, but I'm just going to accept it as one of the mysteries of the universe.
