It's either a problem with the Macbook, with the USB port, the USB cable, or the Nook.
You have ruled out the USB port, and it seems the cable is highly unlikely -- though they could theoretically all be broken.

ok.. so i tried plugging in a bunch of legacy devices with all these cables on both usb ports on the mbp and they all showed up in the finder.. so it started looking like it was the nook.
i went and pulled out my old win 7 laptop and tried to hook the nook up with two different cables and no luck! this was a laptop with calibre and ADE on it so i know it used to work. i was like wtf. so i simply tried holding the power button on the nook for a bit (i don't believe i actually turned it off b/c this sucker takes awhile to reboot i think) and voila.. the win laptop saw the nook.
i then plugged the nook back into the mbp and voila.. it works on the mbp now. go figure. i can see it in ade and calibre both.. oh well, i guess the nook was in a funky state or something. hard to say.
followup question. i have an backup of my old windows system calibre library on my current mbp. what's the best way to import that lib into the new install of calibre on the mac? i'm pretty sure i can just drag the epubs from the folders manually to calibre but i thought i'd ask how to actually import the library itself
thanks for all the other help
