Is there a way to make Calibre NOT connect automatically with the device when that's plugged in to the computer? I don't use Calibre to put books onto it, only to convert. But every time the device happens to be plugged in when I do that, Calibre tries to connect and index the device, it takes for ever & just now the whole thing even locked up -- and all for something I don't need.

So I'd prefer to turn off Calibre's automatic detection of ereader devices, but I can't find it in the options.
