Cannot use Nook with Calibre
In Calibre 0.9.2 on Kubuntu 11.10 I cannot use my newly-purchased Nook Simpletouch with Glowlight device. The device is plugged into USB, and I can browse it with the file system. I then open Calibre. I have enabled the "Nook Device Interface(1.0.0) by John Schember" plugin. There seem to be other Nook plugins, but when I try to install them I get a popup "The plugin: Nook cannot be disabled".
In Calibre I right-click a book and click "Send to device -> Send to main memory". Nothing happens, as if there is no click register for the menu item. Note also that I tried with a previous 0.9.x version and had the same problem. I upgraded to 0.9.2 to try to resolve the issue. Here is the debug info: Code:
- saturn:~$ calibre-debug -d Error: Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading. calibre 0.9.0 Linux-3.0.0-20-generic-x86_64-with-debian-wheezy-sid Linux ('Linux', '3.0.0-20-generic', '#34-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 1 17:24:39 UTC 2012') Python 2.7.3 Linux: ('debian', 'wheezy/sid', '') USB devices on system: [['0x46d', '0xc068', '0x5802', u'Logitech', u'G500', u'9D34CD39E60018'], ['0x2080', '0x3', '0x216', u'B&N', u'NOOK SimpleTouch', u'3023350010123047'], ['0xa12', '0x1', '0x1958', u'', u'BT2.0', u''], ['0x1a7c', '0x191', '0x402', u'HOLTEK', u'Evoluent VerticalMouse 4', u''], ['0x4d9', '0x132', '0x390', u'', u'USB Keyboard', u'']] Available plugins: ADAM ALEX ALURATEK_COLOR ANDROID ARCHOS7O AVANT AZBOOKA BAMBOOK BLACKBERRY BOEYE_BDX BOEYE_BEX BOOQ BOOX COBY COOL_ER CYBOOK DBOOK E52 E71X EB511 EB600 EBK52 ECLICTO EDGE EEEREADER ELONEX ESLICK EX124G FOLDER_DEVICE_FOR_CONFIG GEMEI GER2 HANLINV3 HANLINV5 ILIAD INVESBOOK IPAPYRUS IREXDR1000 IREXDR800 IRIVER_STORY ITALICA JETBOOK JETBOOK_COLOR JETBOOK_MINI KINDLE KINDLE2 KINDLE_DX KINDLE_FIRE KOBO LIBREAIR LUMIREAD MENTOR MOOVYBOOK MTP_DEVICE N516 N770 N810 NEWSMY NEXTBOOK NUUT2 ODYSSEY ORIZON PALMPRE PDNOVEL PDNOVEL_KOBO PI2 PICO PLAYBOOK POCKETBOOK301 POCKETBOOK360 POCKETBOOK360P POCKETBOOK602 POCKETBOOK622 POCKETBOOK701 PRS505 PRST1 README S60 SHINEBOOK SMART_DEVICE_APP SNE SOVOS SPECTRA STASH SUNSTECH_EB700 SWEEX TECLAST_K3 THEBOOK TREKSTOR USER_DEFINED VELOCITYMICRO WEBOS WEXLER Looking for devices of type: MTP_DEVICE No known MTP devices connected to system Looking for devices...

Go to preferences->plugins and re-enable the Nook device interface plugins you disabled.

Thank you Kovid. I do not see that the plugin is disabled / or if there is any way to enable it. The plugin icon and text shows as grey, whereas all other (uninstalled) plugins have a green icon and black text. Does grey icon and grey text mean that the plugin is unavailable to install (because it is installed) or that it is disabled?

Thank you, I can now send books to the Nook!
One small suggestion, if I might: perhaps the Plugins configuration screen could provide a mouse-over text of "Disabled" to make clear to the user that the plugin is disabled. As stated earlier, the grey colour does not make clear whether the plugin is unavailable to install (because it is installed) or that it is disabled. Thank you! |

Would this plugin allow to exploit the Nook concept of "Shelves"? They are not visible when you mount the Nook via USB on your PC. |

Device OUTPUT (there are others specific to a device profile) plugins is the section to look into. |
