I just want to be able to use Calibre.
I have used it for years on my very old Pocketbook ereader which is now retired.

Looking in calibre's FAQs, there is an entry which seems to match your issue:

On macOS if you get permission errors when connecting a device to calibre, you can fix that by looking under System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders.
I've attached a screen capture from a Catalina VM.
