My Nook is giving me an "unable to open" error when trying to open certain books.

The books in question are both conversions, one from lit format and the other from pdf, to epub. So I originally thought the problem might be with Calibre, but I can open the converted files in Calibre's viewer and they seem to be fine. Plus, since Nook supports pdf, I copied the original pdf over and it wouldn't work either.

Any ideas? Could the firmware update to version 1.5 be related to this?

edit:

I decided to try using Calibre to load the files onto my Nook instead of just dragging and dropping them manually, and now the files are working on the device. Problem solved!
