Calibre says my books arent on my device

maraudar · 07-07-2016, 02:34 PM

Its more of a cosmetic thing to me but I recently loaded some books onto my device, a Nook HD like usual. No problems, Ive done this too many times to count. After sending them to the device though it shows in Calibre that the books aren't on the device.

Checked the device, they are there. In fact I am reading one now. But for some reason when the Nook is connected to Calibre it shows these four books as not being on the device. All the other books recently added show as being on the device. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Direct to device (from store) downloads may end up in protected storage.

If that was NOT the case:
If you switch to Device view: right click on one of the titles NOT flagged in Library: You have a chance to associate or retrieve (add to Library)

Thanks for the advice. I ended up deleting them from the device. Funny thing. After I did that I found the books had duplicated (Fooling around without protection.. How dare they). I deleted the ones with the older dates on them then resent the others to the device without a hitch. So problem solved.

Though I think I will have to have "that talk" with my books about duplicating. Sheesh books these days no control
