My understanding is that calibre automatically converts books to a compatible format when sending books to a device?

I've got a (unrooted, but I am not opposed to rooting it) Nook Simple Touch that I've been playing around, and so far PDF and EPUB work fine on it when I send those formats to the device. I sent some MOBI files over, and those did not convert, but the Nook seems not to recognize the books (the books do not show up at all in looking through the Library on the reader itself, though when I connect it to my computer (running Ubuntu 11.04) the MOBI books are visible in nautilus.

Am I missing something? Or do I need to tell it what to do? I looked through preferences & device, but didn't see anything obvious... (I also searched thru this forum on nook & mobi but did not find any previous thread that was applicable to this question.)

Thanks!
