There is also a debug mode on Android and a Linux tool which is much faster for listings and transfers (ADB related?), but likely that's not available for a Scribe. That tool also allows other stuff on Android if you install an App that tells you actual filename of unwanted Android pre-installed apps.
Scribe is not running Android so ADB is not a possibility. If I can figure out how to use calibre's MTP library directly, I'll probably use that, but I also wanted to find something that didn't depend on calibre to do command line operations. Calibre is using the same libmtp library, but has a python wrapper to call the binaries directly.
