[RainIntoRainbows]

I finally gave in & caved so that I could really get my money's worth from my NC. I am now using a dual boot SD CM7. The Android platform looks great. I'm into the Market & having a great time playing around with all of the apps I could previously only get on my D2G.

Now, though, I'm coming up short, because as much as I love having this as a tablet, I can't seem to get back the functionality of an ereader! Hopefully this is something relatively simple to fix. I just haven't been able to.

1) I've loaded the Nook app so I can read all of my B&N books.

2) I've loaded the Kindle app so I can read all of my Amazon books.

3) I've authorized my ADE account so I can read all of my Adobe DRMed books.

However, I still have a very large number of books that I cannot access; that is, all of my previously sideloaded epub books.

I've gone round & round, searching, etc., but I'm pretty sure I just don't know what I'm looking for. I've loaded Aldiko and it can see my SD card, but can't find any books on it, even though Calibre says they're on there. Exploring the drive from my PC doesn't show them either. I'm guessing they're on a partition that can't be read somehow?

And I won't even get into the whole catalog thing. I've tried creating my catalogs, but I'm stuck!

My current Calibre library comprises almost 1300 books. This doesn't include many, many more that are in ADE, B&N & Amazon. Ideally I'd love to get them all in the same place, but for now, I'd just settle to have them there, period.

I've created a Dropbox area for them and they're all uploaded. I don't see any way of downloading, though, short of selecting one book at a time, which is way too tedious.

I guess what I'm asking is, is there a "dummies" method for those of us who are very good at following directions but for whom all of the technical language isn't necessarily intuitive?

TIA!
