Calibre has an (undocumented) ebook-device CLI that lets you do some things with device content, but it no longer works with Scribe (raises exception right away).
Thank you for being the vanguard and testing this for the rest of us.

I'd be really bummed to give up my 'mount/ebook-convert/umount' workflow.

It looks like the underpinnings of mass-storage are still there, but I can't find anything obvious to switch it back.
