On Linux you have to disable "automount" of MTP or else your filemanager is the ONLY way to do I/O. Some Linux desktops don't disable MTP automount, so you have go to System Monitor > Processes, browse for gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor and right click "stop" (not Kill or it auto-re-spawns). Then connect the device and Calibre can detect it & use it. I think Android uses it since version 4 or 5, but it's actually MS USB-MTP. Naturally I find my Android phones and tablets annoying.
One wonders is it a plan to ditch having a FAT32 partition and use the superior Ext4 (which Windows doesn't understand) for all of the Scribe.
This makes the Scribe less attractive. However the worse ereader for connection is still the reMarkable. It uses USB networking (or WiFi to reMarkable's server) and the only alternative to reMarkable client SW is to use a browser, drag & drop one file at a time to the browser.
Not in Finder? Well, MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, not a file system!

As I am learning.
Is there any reason to think the other Kindles with this update won't get this 'feature'?
Okay. Now I'm going to have to check Windows...
