I was looking at one of my side loaded books and the cover was cut-off so I was deleting it and putting it through its Calibre paces (debugging it because of the page formatting and the cover was somewhat cut-off.)

I got my book cover to display normally but the formatting is still screwed up:
the name of the book and the author's name is printing next to the text of each paragraph.

Short answer: Yes nook will display your book cover but you may have to do some work (I should know I have over a thousand non barnes&norble ebooks.)
Are your sideloaded books stripped?

I like to open my books (B&N and others) in calibre and change the metadata. I prefer the series name and number first, then book title. But when I do this I loose the cover. I was just wondering if there is anything besides stripping the drm I can do to get them to show up on both my Nooks (it works for my original rooted Nook, but not my NC or STR).
