Plug in your device. You should get a mount point. If you are running windows, that will be a drive letter. Linux and Mac's will put it under /media or some such. Make mental note of where it is. Start Calibre. Click on the small downward-facing triangle immediately to the right of 'Send to Device'. You will see a menu, with one option being 'Connect to Folder'. Choose that and navigate to the folder on the device you want Calibre to play in. Upon OK, calibre will do its thing and another library icon should appear.
One note: if you point at a folder with books in it, calibre will see them. However, calibre stores books using its own scheme, which you can control using calibre's preferences. If the existing books don't use the same scheme, then calibre won't overwrite them if you send the book again. You will get another copy. To simplify things, I made a new ebooks folder and populated it using calibre, pointed Freda at this new folder, then deleted my old one.
