The last nook I had was a nook simple touch with glowlight, it initially had some issues with sideloading books, but after they stopped supporting it, i noticed zero issues with calibre and all sideloaded books appeared in my library as they appeared in my calibre library. the bnrv1300 seems to be setup in a way that calibre cant access the root folder?

for the record, I am getting the same error as the OP:
calibre, version 7.1.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

-When i go into the developer options on the nook device, MTP is the only option available for file transfer.

Calibre is such a wonderful piece of software, I love what i can do with my library of ebooks, its a shame manufacturers try so hard to prevent users from using their devices in any way other than using their designated book store

would you have any suggestions on where i could find information on how to make any changes/adjustments to my books in calibre, permanent and attributed to the .epub file so that in my case, i can drag and drop the calibre files on to the nook, and the metadata and book covers i chose will always be the default info for my files?
