Disabling both the Kobo & Kobo touch device drivers should make Calibre gracefully downgrade to the stock USBMS driver (I don't actually know how it presents itself in the UI, as I've never used it).

Keep in mind that the same warnings I mentioned about mixing drivers apply here, too: this will most likely screw with the Kobo driver if you ever decide to re-enable it.

If you want to avoid that, you can make it use a different subfolder as the (on-device) Library root.

(Again, never done it myself, refer to the calibre docs for more details).
