I am having a problem using Calibre with my CM7 rooted Nook color. Maybe someone here has some insight as to how to resolve the problem.

I rooted my Nook color with Froyo 2.2 and Calibre is working just fine with it. With the new B&N 1.2 pseudo Android release being pushed to the Nook, I have some fears that they will "update" my rooted Nook.

In anticipation of that, I have prepared a bootable SD card of the stable release of CM7 2.3 Gingerbread. It works fine in most respects, but is not working with Calibre. I suspect the problem is twofold - when I attach the Nook to my PC using the usb cable, my computer does not recognize either Nook SD drive as a valid drive and I believe, therefore, that Calibre cannot find the Nook.

I can install CM7 on the Nook Main card, but that will wipe out my Froyo install (which is performing marvelously) and I would prefer not to do that if possible. And I'm not sure that will resolve the problem anyway.

I am pursuing the problem with the CM7 forum as well, but you folks on the Calibre forum are always trying new things and maybe someone has a brilliant suggestion.... Thanks
