Nook Books Not Showing as "On Device"

wawasteele · 11-07-2010, 06:32 PM

Forgive me if this has been covered. I am new to Calibre, but have spent a lot of time searching for the answer.

I have a lot of books from Barnes and Noble on my Nook. I also have books from other sources. I added all the books to Calibre. My problem is, all the books show up in Calibre, but only the non-B&N books show up as "On Device". I would like all the books on the Nook to show up as "On Device", including the B&N ones. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Wanda

your best bet to make that happen is delete them from the device and resend them using calibre.

To be safe, first do it with only 1 book to make sure it works.

I've worked around this problem by adding two custom columns called "loaded" and "BN" with Y/N settings, and checking Y for both to set up searching functions.

Thank you kovidgoyal for the program and the suggestion. The problem with that one, I like where B&N books load. Their area on the Nook has a search function that sideloaded books don't have. So, I also thank cklls for the column idea. I will try that one first. If it doesn't work for me, I will reconsider the first suggestion.
