OK, understood.

And, it might be a good idea to disable the Kindle drivers. I don't know the order the driver and hardware is checked. There is a chance that there could be some interference between the two.

Yes, I have disabled the Kindle drivers. Otherwise Calibre always detects the device as a Kindle.
Duokan doesn't split the Kindle's internal storage. It just adds its own folders to the file structure:
Code:
Volume in drive G is Kindle
Volume Serial Number is 0000-0003
Directory of G:\
12/03/2017 11:00 <DIR> system
12/03/2017 11:04 <DIR> documents
14/04/2014 12:09 <DIR> .active_content_sandbox

The original Kindle folders are "system" and "documents". Duokan installation added the "DK_*" ones. The books are stored in "documents" while in Kindle mode, and in "DK_Documents" while in Duokan mode.
What I intended is to manage from Calibre both folders from the "User Defined USB driver" mode configured for Duokan. That way I can have the epub books always in the Doukan folder, but still manage the azw* books from the Kindle folder. I could copy to/from Calibre and make conversions between them without disconnecting the device and/or resetting Calibre or its drivers, having them clearly differentiated by the "main memory" and "card A" menus. Of course, without using the "connect to folder" feature.
Since the answer from Kovid I can see it is not possible.
Thanks both for your help and support.
