Only one program can access an MTP device at a time on Linux. Prevent your desktop/file manager from automounting the device and it will be detected in calibre.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite, an eReader, an ink device. Is it an MTP device?
I found some directions for turning automounting in nemo ( the file manager ) off.
nemo -> edit > preferences > behavior > media handline.
1. I unchecked the automounting options and closed nemo.
2. I then plugged in the Paperwhite, no kindle icon appeared on my desktop
3. I booted up Calibre, still no "send to device" button or options.
Calibre gave me this error message:
