The 1st generation Scribe does 'expose' the /system and thumbnails subfolder even with latest update. Seems very likely to remain that way.

Note that the newer Kindles (with unexposed /system folder) 'mount' much more quickly in calibre since there are significantly fewer files to process (and calibre does not create its cover hack folder).

It would be nice if option to set PDOC cdetype directly was available in calibre's conversion to AZW3/KF8, since some people prefer that to KFX.
