I am running Kubuntu 20.04. I bought an ebook reader, an Onyx Boox
Poke 3. And I am using Calibre version 5.8.1 to manage my ebooks.
When I connect the usb to the ebooker reader, I can access the device
in the file manager: mtp:/Poke3/Internal shared storage/Download/
But Calibre doesn't seem to see it.
I posted a question to the MobileRead forum for help and the
developer, Kovid, told me that: On linux multiple programs cannot
connect to mtp devices simulataneously. Make sure your file
manager/desktop environment doesnt automount the device, and calibre
will be able to connect ot it.
I am not seeing a way to not automount the device.

Can anyone suggest how to manage this?
