Sorry it took me so long to reply, I must confess that I
missed/lost/maybe didn't receive your email.

When you write "there is now way to", do you mean "there is now a way
to" or "there is no way to"?  Being able to "save as" sounds like good
news, because that means mtp support is finally working correctly.

Four things to try that might allow "send to device" to work:
   
  1. Try plugging in the tablet after Calibre has finished
  initialising, to test to see if it's detection is failing somehow.

  2. Try creating a new user who doesn't have a Calibre configuration
  or library, download some public domain epubs as that user, and see
  if that works.  If it works, the problem is somewhere in your
  config.

  3. If the problem is somewhere in your config, then you'll need to
  make Calibre forget your tablet (do this when it's unplugged).  The
  objective here is to trigger the "new device setup" wizard.  Part of
  this step is also finding and deleting the "driveinfo.calibre" and
  "metadata.calibre" files on your device.

  4. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1117505&postcount=3

  5. Try using the calibre web interface to browse your library
  wirelessly on your tablet.  I haven't tried it yet, but it seems
  like it ought to allow you to download books to your Downloads
  folder.

  5. Only read the following instructions and search for some custom
  configuration that may have been done in the past:
  
http://www.bernaerts-nicolas.fr/linux/74-ubuntu/268-ubuntu-automount-any-mtp-device
  This is to eliminate custom config outside of Calibre's control as a
  possible variable.

As a worst-case scenario the Android "Calibre Companion" is supposed
to have a demo version that doesn't cost anything, but I can't in good
conscience recommend it, because know if it's software libre, and I've
never tried it.  There's an article on it here:

Let me know how it goes, and please don't send a follow up message if
I take more than two weeks to reply.

Sincerely,
Nicholas
