Looking for devices...

Devices possibly connected: None

any help would be appreciated.

Your device is not presenting itself as a device with a drive letter ("DriveError: No removable drives found"). Unless you can change that, calibre won't support it over USB.

Note that if the Streak runs android 3 or later, then there is no way to get it to advertize its memory as a removable drive. Google has removed that feature.

So I guess my only option is to just drag and drop the books into a folder on the streak?

Or use the calibre content server
