I've got about 200 books on the nook touch and just added some from my computer using Calibre (great software!). Then I created some new shelves for the books ... and ... arrrggghhh.

Seems that for each and every new shelf I need to go though the entire list of books already on the nook and hope that I notice the ones I just downloaded and click them into the respective shelf. If they were listed in date added order (like the kindle), or better yet in reverse date order ... it'd be easy. But the nook seems to insist on alphabetizing the list.

My life is complicated enough ... is there an easier way? Please say I'm just to dumb too figure this out myself!
Shelves are a nice idea, poorly implemented. Not only it is difficult to add books to shelves, books from the SD card tend to magically disappear from the shelves. I personally would not bother with shelves.
The proper way for this to work would be for the Library app to parse the metadata of the books, and give you the option to sort based on that.
