Calibre interface was one of things that held me back from using it for other things than conversion and sending books to PRS-500 for quite a long time. Fortunatelly, today you can replace that icon bar at the top with a menu, so I can customize it to my liking

The solution is very easy.
Go to the Preferences, Plugins, Device Interface Plugins and disable all the plugins you see there.
I asked our local Calibre gurus some time ago, how to prevent Calibre from connecting to my reader every time I connect it and somebody pointed me there. I was very happy ... You see, I like to organize books on my reader the way *I* like it, using custom templates and 'save to disk'. I know, I know there are plugboards that I could use when connecting to device that haven't fully utilized yet.
By the way, have a look at plugins. If you disable the html2zip plugin, Calibre will not try to convert a single html file to a html.zip file when adding a book.
Then there are interesting plugins you can istall.
Calibre is *very* modular, so you can tweak, enable, disable or easily change [by editing a python script for plugin somewhere] quite a few things.
