Yes, I have "calibre" and do use it, but the problem is that debian
see's the kindle device as a "mtp-device", and cannot mount it. "Caja"
and "nemo" will auto-load the device, "nautilus" doesn't. But it is
always auto-loaded as a mtp-device. It has to be loaded with "jmtpfs"
which is still dodgy and unreliable, or as "fusermount" which is better.
AFAIK they are the only options available for mounting the kindle using
debian.
