After trying to put new sideloaded books on it, the USB mode refused to close-- even after ejecting through Windows and through Calibre. After forcing a reboot, my books were no longer recognizable and trying to delete and re-add them with Calibre or Windows Explorer merely froze the Glowlight 3 on USB mode again. I had to use Erase & Deregister to get my books back in working order.

Frankly, for as old as the Nook brand is, it really should have more stable software by now. This is a little silly.
I had this happen to me a few times before I switched to Calibre Companion to manage my books. It seems the GL3 uses some sort of virtual partition for the sideloaded content that gets easily corrupted.

Calibre Companion puts the books on the regular partitions. The nook library software doesn't scan these partitions so they don't get added to that software but you can use CC to open the books in the nook reader software if you want. The books also are not accessible via usb since you can only see the virtual partition when connected via usb.

I had thought they fixed the corrupting issue with later updates but I had switched to CC before those updates so I guess maybe not?
