Sometimes you have one of those hmmm..... moments.

The Nook USED TO work just fine on Linux. Then it recently stopped. And I took downstairs to the Windows computer and it DID NOT work at first on the Windows machine. And I remember switching ports.

Then I realized what I did. I plugged it into a powered USB hub on the Windows machine.

So, I went through a drawer and pulled out a powered USB hub I had lying around, set it up and plugged it into my Linux laptop.

As soon as I plugged the nook into the hub, Calibre immediately scanned it and let me copy books to it.

So, it appears I figured it out myself.

If you're having nook problems with calibre, plug it into a powered hub.
