The devices I'm interested in (in this context, anyway) are
e-book-readers. Several of them would attach as umass, to expose their
internal storage. The one I have does, at least (it's a generic e-ink
Android device:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/ICARUS_Illumina_E654BK).

Calibre can also use MTP to access readers.

But some of them might actually attach as ugen and have some weird
protocol of their own (although I haven't seen any sign of support in
Calibre for that, yet, but I could have missed it).

Another problem will be that calibre generally expects that "the desktop
environment" auto-mounts the device's file system, which NetBSD doesn't
do... to code around that, I would probably need to find some way to get
from umass device to sd device, and mount it.
