For a moment there I thought this could be the solution for connecting
my Galaxy Nexus phone (given that it can also work as an ereader), but
it was not to be:

OpenFailed: Failed to open MTPDevice(busnum=1, devnum=12, vendor_id=1256, product_id=26716, bcd=534, serial=u'01498A4C09018014', manufacturer=u'samsung', product=u'Galaxy Nexus'): Error: Unable to open raw device.

Too bad.
