Calibre can't do much more than Title and Author metadata on MTP. Also certain operations are slow. Only Windows can have multiple programs using an MTP device. So Calibre is eaily locked out on Mac and Linux if you are not careful.

MS enhanced PTP to MTP, and then extended MTP formusic on the Zune and DRM. Extra code was added to Windows MTP support was backported to Win98.

I have a faint memory that originally you could only use the MTP device in one windows program at a time, originally the intention was that it was for Windows Media Player to talk to a gadget.
Android didn't adopt MTP till 4.0.

You don't need to go to China to buy a Boox. Many Onyx Boox eink are really Android Tablets with eink rather than an eink ereader that happens to use Android.

If you should have a Boox or not is a separate discussion. I don't have one.

I use the TCL Nxtpaper 11 for anything needing colour. I'd pick up a TCL Nxtpaper 14 or 14 pro if I was anywhere that has them. They are not in USA and Europe yet.

I think for novels / mono content the Libra Colour, or any Kaleido eink, is inferior to the Libra 2 or Clara BW or Sage.
