Always true.

Unless it's a Fire, that's not true. The eInk Kindles use Mass Storage mode.
A PW3 can be connected & work with Calibre and be in a filemanager window at the same time, because no eInk kindle I've ever seen uses MTP.

I just checked on Linux Mint, Mate desktop, Caja filemanager and Calibre. The Paperwhite is fine to read or write on either. It's NOT an MTP device.

Certainly a Fire Tablet or any Android device since Version 4 is MTP.

So something else is "broken"
