(I wonder what happens if the same SD card shows up in a different Nook? Same uuid or different?)

To be fair, now that I know how to do it for my own use, I'm relatively indifferent to what ends up in default Calibre--or if it does at all. There seems to be a grand total of two of us who think it's useful at all.
