The device is recognized as an MTP device and to transfer files it needs to be connected this way. Another option is to use WiFi to transfer files. The Likebook Note offers a local web gui for book transfers and i'd assume that the more recent Mimas offers this possibility as well.
I would very much prefer to use this device's storage via USB instead of MTP, simply because file transfer is much faster than with that awkwardly slow MTP protocol. Too much user friendliness is the opposite of practical usability.

Thank you for your reply. I think I have a Linux distro on a thumb drive somewhere that I never tried... is it likely that Linux would recognize the device when it's plugged into my laptop USB 3.0 port? My laptop is around four or five years old.
I am so frustrated by this. I have already spent hours trying to figure out how to make the Mimas workable. My old Boyue ereader is so simple to just connect to my computer by USB and I can transfer and organize all the files so easily. I never imagined that the new device no longer has all of that functionality. It's exasperating!
I was able to transfer a small amount of books by the wifi book transfer, but it was frustrating because I wanted to just copy my entire book folder with all of the subfolders since I have it all organized how I like it on my old device.
Yesterday I tried transferring APKs and music files that way, but it only accepts book files.
