Here is what I had to do to use a 32GB card in the color nook. Their support is useless and I see thing thing being a major bomb. A couple of extra steos because of the 32GB card that will not format in the nook (but will in any other device it is in, tried a couple of cards)

1) format a lower capacity card in the nook
2) put that card into your card reader
3) copy the directory structure over to an empty directory
4) remove the card
5) put in the 32 GB card and format it to fat-32
6) copy the directory structure to the 32gb card
7) change the attributes on the My Files top level dir and sub-dirs to remove the read-only attribute s you can write to them
8) export your books in epub format from Calibre to a temp directory
9) copy those books to My files/Books/ on the sd card
10) remove the sd card and put it back in the nook.
11) don't have too many books - I tried loading 3000 books and the library does not work - you have to go through the file browser to get to them. Seems to work OK for under 1000 though.

Not really happy with the color nook right now - very poor support from B&N, not the fastest thing in the world (but I did know this going in) and with all of the work arounds I have had to do to load my own books, it is obvious they released it into the public before its' tmie to get holiday sales.
