I use calibre here a lot on my Kobo and it JustWorksLikeItShould(tm). The other half has a Kindle - the fancy one with backlit cover and full physical qwerty keyboard and she says that one works just fine here too. But, both the Kindle and the Kobo present as usb-storage devices. Google says the new-fangled Kindles are MTP. I'd say your problem is with mtp rather than calibre or Kindle. And to fix that you need sys-fs/jmtpfs from poly-c overlay per a recent thread here sometime in the last month -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
