Neither Windows or Liinux need an "Android updater" for different reasons, so that sounds like a Mac.

But DNSB is correct, the Scribe (or any MTP device) must not mount on Mac or Linux or Calibre. On Linux you can often turn off automount MTP, but not on Linux Mint using Mate & Caja. There you have to go to processes and stop (not kill, or it auto-respawns) the gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor before connecting USB cable.

If Mac or Linux, then Scribe MUST NOT show on desktop, or Finder, or Filemanagers. Do not run Android Updater.
Only newer versions of Calibre will see the Scribe as an MTP device, even if they work with actual Android gadgets, because it's not Android (MTP was actually MS for the Zune before used by Android, which is why it works better on Windows.)
