Well, I’ve bought one.
I am apparently not ready for the fun stuff like installing apps because I haven't yet mastered the basics.
Before trying BN customer service I thought I’d see if anyone here has found something I’ve missed.
On the Library pages for All Items or Books you can sort by Recent or Author or Title. What I can’t find is a way to is limit the items displayed to just the ones actually on the device.
You can create shelves so, worst case, I thought I could at least work around this limitation by creating a shelf for just the books actually on the device. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to sort the contents of the shelves. They don’t default to the order selected on the All Items or Books pages, it’s random – and some of the items on the shelf are listed twice (not together, just in two random places), although the count given for the books on the shelf is correct.
According to the user guide, you can copy files (“including EPUB files, PDFs, and photos”) from your PC to the Nook . It tells me to put the files onto the NOOK drive and then “organize” the files by opening the NOOK drive, and moving the files into the My Files folder.
This made no sense to me (if they want the damn files in the My Files folder, why can’t I just copy them directly there from my PC) but I tried to follow instructions. I copied a PDF file from the PC to the Nook drive and looked for a folder called My Files somewhere on the drive. There is no such folder. I ejected the Nook and looked on the library page for My Files, where it tells me, unsurprisingly, that I have not yet copied any files to the Nook.
I sideloaded some books from Calibre and that at least worked well. They show up along with all the other books in the All Items and Books pages. File explorer finds the books I’ve sideloaded, in author folders inside the Books folder, and tells me I’ve used 10.2 MB of the total 974 MB (no mention of the hidden partition).
