After experiencing the reader library and the non-calibre-recognizing shelves, I ponder why B&N implemented this lame concept. The Kindle and Sony eReaders play nice with calibre. The eBook apps like Aldiko and Moon+ recognize tags.

I understand wanting to be different, but shouldn't features be practical as well? Can they make the shelves recognize tags? The creator of calibre said that shelves will never work with the application because of the way B&N implemented them.

Can B&N revamp their desktop apps so that it recognizes the NOOK (and shelves) and allow us to drag and drop books to the appropriate shelves at the very least?

The task of shelving books one by one on the device is what prompted me to consider rooting.

I'm not sure where I read it but there is a way to include multiple books to shelve at the same time. Since my nook color I did all my shelving on that and not my nook classic. So I'll play around this weekend and see what I come up with.

but I'm almost postive I read somewhere someone explaining how to do it. I do believe on this forum.
