Library Management and Nook Color

s36x · 09-15-2011, 01:04 AM

I have a bunch of ebooks (epubs) and many have funky titles and missing covers. While I have the covers sorted, I want to edit the names.

If I edit them in calibre, and then plug in my nookcolor will it auto-edit the titles on the nook? All I want to do is overwrite the titles on the nook, not send a second copy of the book. I have calbre set to auto update metadata on connect, but it hasn't synced the covers that calibre has already fixed so I have no idea what titles will do.

Basically I'm looking for sync help. I don't want to erase the device and start over I just want to fix what's on my computer and have my nook reflect that change. and so far I haven't found a way to make calibre do this.

ideas?

Most probably you'll have to delete and resend the books on the device after changing the metadata. As far as I know, metadata syncing is only implemented for Sony devices.

The Nooks dont make their metadata cache accessible via the USB connection, so metadata syncing cannot work for them. Delete/Resending is your only option.

Well shoot.

Thanks for the help
