Forcing no conversion, just copy to device?

ferossan · 04-14-2012, 10:52 AM

I do have 2 devices, an old Hanlin V5 and a Nook Simple Touch. Both rooted.
Almost all my books are in fb2 format and I have no problems to use Calibre to organize my library and copy my fb2's to the Hanlin without conversion. To my surprise, I can't do the same with the Nook Simple Touch. Calibre insist to convert my fb2's to epub

Is there any way, using Calibre, to avoid the conversion and just copy the fb2 to my Nook Simple Touch?

(of course, I can use a file manager to copy the files, but the idea is use Calibre)

Customize the proper Nook Touch device interface plugin (Preferences->Plugins->Device interface plugins) to include fb2 as a valid format for the device.

Highlight the correct interface plugin, click "Customize plugin" and check the fb2 box. You can also move it up in priority if you need to.
