So the actual process becomes:
  • Connect device.
  • Wait endlessly for Calibre to check all new unwanted folders.
  • Go "Configure device" and untick all these folders.
  • Restart Calibre, wait again.
  • Desired result (only "Books" and "Download").
There are 2 files in the root that 'calibre' <hint> uses to 'log' previous scans for speedup. If you tamper with those, it has to start over.
I Shuffle my device (non-book) folder CONTENTS frequently with no rescan. Don't touch the path to known book folders.
