Wow! An upgrade just for me!
Now my Kindle is recognised OK without me having to mount it in Linux. Perfect!

I can send books to the device OK, they get transferred and I can read them. I need to tweak the device configuration to put them in the Books folder, but that's no problem.

There's just a tiny bit of strange behaviour left: when I copy a book to the Kindle it is no longer listed in the main library. If I disconnect the Kindle and re-boot Calibre the Kindle books re-appear in the main library, but as soon as I re-connect the Kindle then every book it contains disappears from the main library listing!

Anyway, many thanks for the help so far - I'm just going off to make another donation for this fine program.
