I'm not who you were replying to, but I have a new Colorsoft and am using Linux, avoiding any Windows idiosyncrasies. Using libmtp or android-file-transfer, I can confirm that the `system` folder is inaccessible through the MTP interface. I think `system` "really" exists on the underlying filesystem, but access is sabotaged on the Kindle's MTP interface.
Example using FUSE provided by `android-file-transfer`:
Code:
$ pwd
~/mnt/kindle/Internal Storage
$ ls -a1
./
../
.active_content_sandbox/
audible/
documents/
driveinfo.calibre
fonts/
metadata.calibre
screenshots/
$ cd system
cd: The directory 'system' does not exist
$ touch system
touch: cannot touch 'system': Input/output error
$ touch systema
# Works!
So Kovid's suspicions seem to track.
