My device is non-standard or unusual. What can I do to connect to it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to the :guilabel:`Connect to Folder` function found under the Connect/Share button, calibre provides a ``User Defined`` device plugin that can be used to connect to any USB device that shows up as a disk drive in your operating system. Note: on windows, the device must have a drive letter for calibre to use it. See the device plugin ``Preferences -> Plugins -> Device Plugins -> User Defined`` and ``Preferences -> Miscellaneous -> Get information to setup the user defined device`` for more information. Note that if you are using the user defined plugin for a device normally detected by a builtin calibre plugin, you must disable the builtin plugin first, so that your user defined plugin is used instead.
