Okay so I'm more informed than I was yesterday. The main problem I was having here was due to

I removed the Chinese manual and haven't gotten any other error messages from Calibre when using the Pocket Pro.
And this was causing it to not read the internal or SD card to find the books already there.

I also was unaware that a BeBook Reader is the same hardware both from Jinke Electronics just rebranded.

SO bottom line here is that Calibre DOES recognize the Astak Pocket Pro, but as a BeBook Mini. The transfer of books/files/news all work properly .... but you have to get rid to that chinese manual because it screws up the works.

I'm much happier with this set up now. My only remaining issue with the Pocket Pro is that tiny font size on the menus!
