Calibre & Nook on Windows 7

BillyPrefect · 12-31-2010, 03:17 AM

Trying to set my wife's Nook up for use with a new laptop. Calibre doesn't see the nook - I KNOW it's Windows fault, but I don't know what to do to fix it.

Any help, even by just asking me to read specific posts, would be appreciated.

We'll be able to help you more if you goto preferences->Miscellaneous and post the debug device output with your device connected.

I apologize for not searching before posting but it was really late. I did a search and found a similar issue with a working resolution. Don't run Calibre until the Nook is plugged in - or close Calibre then plug in the Nook and restart.

By the way - Calibre is fantastic! With all the digital content options and file types available, my wife's Nook is loaded and ready for her thanks pretty much to your work.

The issue I had seems to be something along the lines of hot plug detection. I understand hardware but programming has me lost. I have a library set up for her on my little server, and I read inputs from a crappy old torrent box. The laptop runs Calibre and works just fine across my network!

Just to note: my posting time shows 8 am but that must be your time zone as it was 3 or so in the morning - I was having issues right across my home network due to new laptops for the kids.

there shouldn't be any problems with plugging in a nook after calibre is running, make sure you dont have any other calibre supported device connected at the same time as your nook, like an iphone/ipad
