My Nook Glowlight 4 Plus has never shown up as a device in calibre. Do you have to do some sort of setup because it is MTP instead of USB Mass Storage?

I've just been saving to disk from calibre onto my desktop. Then using Windows Explorer to drag the books into the Nook folder on the device. (Trying to save to disk within calibre directly to the Nook folder does nothing. No error -- just nothing actually gets saved.)

I'm fine with continuing to sideload with Windows Explorer, and it doesn't seem like doing it through calibre works well anyway. I was just curious since the video doesn't say anything about getting calibre to see the Nook in the first place.
