This system is not ideal for series with multiple authors but as I have only one such series havent had any problems. Truth is chaley who helped me with my export regex could probably do that as well but I never asked.
I guess we have similar tastes and similar setup (rooted nook and coolreader etc.). My folder structure is more or less same; genre/subgenre/author/book. Sometimes there are more than a single level in subgenre/subcategory (2,3 or even 4 levels of folders). I use author only when really necessary, mostly for fiction.

How do you set the genre subgenre etc.? Is it possible to edit/update them manually? I have a BIG collection of books that I want to import into calibre. Is it possible to import my folders into custom fields/columns or as genre/subgenre etc.?

Also, I thought calibre automatically synced your books when nook was connected to PC. Or is it that we have to manually export books to NOOK?
