Yeah, I noticed the slight difference there, but didn't know those were the identifiers that Calibre used to determine whether it was a valid device or not.

Are you saying there's no way for a CyanogenMod Android phone to connect with Calibre, then? It's Android. Anyone can compile their own build. Many folks do... CyanogenMod is just a build based on AOSP 2.1_r2 (the standard Android 2.1 source).

Or am I misunderstanding here...?

I don't know how Calibre (and the Android plugin, to be specific) determines how to interface with a device, but it seems like detecting Android shouldn't be too hard, and since it's just mounting the SD card in the phones like a flash drive, there's not any special protocols and such, right?
