Viewing Nook Simple Touch Items in Calibre

I am using a Nook Simple Touch. The device is recognized by Calibre but none of the items on the device appear when viewing it. Is it possible to see them with Calibre?

You cannot access books you have purchased from B&N over a USB connection, you can only see books you sideload. Send some books to your device from calibre and you will be able to see them.

The books in question were not purchased from B&N but were uploaded to the device using Adobe Digital Editions. Anything I transfer from Calibre shows up fine but nothing that is already on the device is shown by Calibre. Perhaps Calibre isn't capable of reading existing files on a device but only files transferred with Calibre.

IIRC the nook driver scans for all files under the My Files folder and its sub folders, put your files there and calibre will see them, put them elsewhere and it wont.

That's most likely the problem then. Adobe installs them in a Digital Editions directory. I'll see if I can do some file manipulation and get them all recognized by Calibre. Thanks for the info!
