Those Nemo instructions don't work with Mate desktop and Caja file manager. There are two solutions:
1) Let the gadget mount and then unmount it on the desktop icon. Calibre should be able to connect. Some devices won't reconnect!

OR
BEFORE connecting device
2) For devices that won't connect after unmount: Go System Monitor (on start menu, right click, then left click in front of list of running programs. Select Processes. Scroll down to "gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor", right click and "stop process". Don't kill it as it will automatically restart. Plug in device, run Calibre. After eject in calibre, unplug device and right click "continue process". Do not save from Web browser while "gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor" is stopped, or caja crawls.
