I have a working piece of code that generates APNX files and uploads them when sending books to MTP devices, you can see the diff here:

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...calibre:master

I have a few questions:
- I haven't worked on the UI to configure this feature yet, and given how different the dialog for MTP is from the kindle one, I was wondering what would be your preference in terms of UX: maybe a new tab with the 3 extra settings for APNX?
- I'm not a python dev, so please let me know if there is anything wrong with my code
- This is the first time I code for calibre, and I may had made some incorrect assumptions in terms of the supported devices (or other things). I've tried to limit this functionality to MTP Kindles, would that be ok?

Looking forward to your feedback!

Dani.
