Hi Nook-with-Calibre users,
I am not a Nook owner myself so I'm a stranger in this forum -- so please be kind
In January, I created a Calibre plugin which allows quick and easy copying of Calibre book covers to your device for use as screensavers. It started out supporting Sony and Pocketbook devices (which I own) and has since had Kindle support added. It appears to be being successfully used by 6000+ users.
A couple of days ago a Nook STR user (Dopedangel) asked me whether I could add Nook STR support. Testing of a prototype seems to have been successful. We suspect it should also work on the Nook original but have been unable to test this due to neither of us having one. We don't think it would work on a Nook Color.
No hacking of your Nook is required. The only "technical knowledge" required is the ability to perform a one-off task of creating a sub-directory in your Nook internal memory.
- for a Nook STR, it must be called [Nook drive:]/screensavers/calibre
- for a Nook original, it must be called [Nook drive:]/my screensavers/calibre
Whilst the plugin is not as convenient as having an on-device option of display-cover-of-current-book, it may suffice until your Nook developers can provide such an option.
Anyway, if you are interested, you can read more about it in
the main Calibre plugin thread. Anyone who is using other Calibre plugins will be aware that installing a new plugin is as simple as picking from a list.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask here or in the main thread.
Kind regards, Jackie
[Edit:]*** Plugin now correctly supports both Nook STR and Nook original ***
