Since changing to use systemd (and removing consolekit), calibre does not recognise when my Kindle is plugged into the USB port.

Isn't it mount by your desktop? For example, in Fedora they rely in desktop mounting it -> http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/calibre.git/tree/calibre-mount-helper
arch provides a helper using udisks: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/calibre-mount-helper?h=packages/calibre
calibre and systemd changed significantly in the last 4 years and the reported versions are not in the tree anymore. Is the bug still present in recent versions (if so which version?), or can we close the bug?
At least in my case, it works fine now
