Yep. Poor design. Obviously 1.1.1 was designed as an updated to 1.0 and not 1.1.0. So those who updated early, like me, are now stuck on 1.1.0 until at least the next release.

Emailed to nook support and was told there is no way to even manually upgrade from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1. Seems wierd, but that is just how it is.

Mine has not let me know the update is available. It has not updated. It does have 1.1.0 though, just not 1.1.1. I have even hit "Check for new B&N content" a few times, without luck.

Calibre doesn't start

Just installed latest version on Windows 7/x64. It doesn't start, giving me the error:
Bad database location:C:\Users\slothrop\Calibre Library

Is there a workaround?

Thanks. I called Tech Support and they said they will be fixing this feature in a patch since the "sensitivity is just set too low".

I just dragged and dropped it to my device. But I just went into ADE and found no way to copy using ADE. Does anyone have any idea how to do that through ADE?

Does anyone have any idea about why one would get a "Sorry, unable to open this book" message when the same book opens fine under ADE and I've already authorized my nook successfully?

Your wait may be a mixed blessing. By the time you get your nook, some of these early problems might be already fixed!

You're saying there was a firmware update Tuesday? I don't believe there has been a firmware update yet. My nook still gives a version 1.0.0 for the firmware.

How can I "authorize" my nook to my AdobeID? There seems to be no options in the Adobe Digital Editions reader that will do this.

Where did you get that 12% number? I also have no problems navigating through my nook. It feels pretty natural after only about 10 minutes of awkwardness.

First impressions

My nook seems a bit slower than my Kindle 2, but overall, I think it is a much slicker package. I don't really notice the missing folders, nor the lack of text-to-speech, as I never use these. I...
