Ubuntu's automounting works fine with calibre. You just need to make sure to eject (safely remove) the device by right clicking it on the desktop or by clicking the eject icon next to it in Nautilus. If it is not cleanly unmounted that will cause the file system to be set read-only.

Also, you can repair the file system in Ubuntu if it becomes read only. Use the following but replace sdb with the id for the 900.

Code:
sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb -artvVw
