Apologies if I'm not using the correct technical terms.

Maybe Amazon will really hide those whatever they are. Calibre in device mode simply shows anything that
could be added to the library. I think these must be new files that that Amazon is doing on the Scribe as they are not there on a PW3 (x2) or the Oasis 2 (now given away), KK3 or DXG. The USB Mass Storage mode can't hide files. That's an actual FAT32 partition. In fact on Kobo models that use an SD card internally for all storage you can remove the card and put it in PC and see ALL the partitions, and if you can access Linux Ext type, even read/write/change the files. But then even the database and user settings are on the visible Fat32 partition, which is why Calibre can do Collections & Series on a Kobo by editing the database on the second connection after the books added on 1st and database entries created. Also read/write reading status / position / % and highlights, bookmarks and annotations.
My first ereaders were Kindles, but sadly Amazon is making the Kindles more and more locked down. You used to be able to do collections without a jailbreak. Amazon sets Series and you can't fix it if wrong, even on Website. Kids mode hides all the valuable sideloaded PD books from Gutenberg.
I can't see given the vast range of devices and fact that some people use ereader storage simply as portable storage what can be done other than ignore them. Presumably they only appear in device view.
Perhaps I'm wrong.
