With Calibre 7.09 and 7.10, Calibre immediately connects to the Kindle Scribe and starts 3 jobs:

Get device information
Set library information
Get list of books on device

I have a lot of side-loaded books on my Scribe, so it can take up to an hour to complete the 3rd job (Get list of books on device) but it does provide progress feedback in the Jobs window.

However, with versions 7.11 and 7.12, Calibre doesn't start any jobs when the Scribe is connected. It apparently knows the device is attached and is doing something, but there is no feedback in the Jobs window. If I leave the program to sit for a few hours, it eventually works (and the cover fix works!) but this is less than ideal.

I wish a future version will work more like 7.10 and give feedback to the user about what is happening with the connection.
