I can see the device just fine in Nemo and Nautilus file explorer and drag books on and off of it.

On linux only a single program can access MTP devices ata atime. Stop your desktop/file manager from opening it and it will open in calibre.

Ejected the GlowLight Plus in Natilus, launched Calibre and it immediately saw it. It's been refreshing metadata for 8 minutes now, and it's only at 5%. There are not that many books on the device.

[kovidgoyal]

The first time it conencts it will read all files. After that you can configure it to only scan particular folders.

[apastuszak]

I'm at 15% after 30 minutes. That seems excessively long, considering there are only about 25 books on it.

I'm going to have to abort and redo it in the morning. Midnight here in the US.

MTP is excessively slow.

The number of books as nothing to do with it, as Kovid points out it reads all files the first time through.

Why abort? Simply let it run while you sleep.

TRied again this morning and it refreshed in about 15 seconds. Not sure what was going on last night, but all seems well now.,

I didn't let it run overnight, because it was, I was doing this in bed and on battery power.
