Books show up in Calibre but not on Nook?

Mikey1969 · 11-19-2012, 05:29 PM

Hi all,

I am having an odd issue here. I have a collection of books that I am trying to put onto my Nook Simple Touch. I have plenty of space, and they are all .epub format, even according to Calibre. The problem is that about half aren't showing up in my Nook. They open in Calibre just fine, and i can read them there. If I take the SD card out and attach it to my computer, they are there, but they are simply not showing up at all on my Nook. Anyone else have a similar problem? I get no error of any kind, they just don't appear in the list.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

do an epub to epub conversion in calibre before sending them to your nook.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip, I'll fix the other ones that were giving me issues and see if anything else pops up. I appreciate the help as well as the quick response.
