I recently bought a B&N nook, and I'm extremely impressed with everything but the documents view. It brings up a flat-file of all the contents of my documents folder in one long list. Ugly. I set up Calibre to clean up the tags on my files, so the list will at least make sense (I have books with tags like "pdf" and ".6", which makes it hard to navigate). I have v0.6.37 installed on Arch Linux 64. It sees my nook fine and loads any files I choose, but the 'Edit meta information' and 'Convert E-books' buttons are grayed out, and double-clicking on anything in the list does nothing. I'm new to Calibre, so I don't know if this is my unfamiliarity with the software or a bug. My books are from all over, but none have any DRM. Many are PFD's from O'Reilly Media, and more are converted from text via CUPS-PDF. No matter where the source, all are locked. Is there a solution?
