Calibre and Nook HD

Marvinator · 10-07-2019, 07:34 PM

I have a fairly new (less than 6months) Nook, and I use Calibre. I've been using Calibre for a long time and had no problems.

today I see that the books showing as in the MAIN memory of the Nook, aren't in the library of the nook. I sent three books to the Nook today and when I went looking for them, they just weren't there. that's what prompted me to examine things more closely.

I don't have a card, so everthing loads to Main Memory. According to the Nook, I have a lot of room. There are books in the library, but they are the ones tht B&N downloaded direct to the nook, and did not go through my useof Calibre.

Where is calibre putting these books on theNook if not in the Books Library?
Can someone help me figure this out?

You can configure where calibre puts the files, right click on the nook icon in calibre when it is connected and choose configure this device.

I know I can configure it, but I can't seem to find the right place to put them. There are many books on there already, but where?

Let me see if I can explain further.

Calibre shows many books on my Nook in Main Memory. NONE of these books shows up in the Library ON THE NOOK. The books I have side loaded are in a folder called BOOKS which was there when I first started (so I naturally figured that's where you put books. So the books in this folder cannot be seen by the Nook adn teh books that are in the Nook Library cannot be seen by Calibre.

Not sure what to do to fix this.

You need to ask in the Nook forum. This is where we can help you MAKE the setting, not decide what to set it at.

Probably the nook 's book indexer is crashing on one of the files in that folder. Reset your nook and send only a single book to it and see if ti shows up first.

I'll Give that a try. I've already reset the dang thing once, I don't want to have to do that again unless it's absolutely necessary.
