Classic Sideloaded material disappears

obs20 · 11-21-2010, 10:15 AM

My wife has been using a Nook since July. This week all of the side loaded material has disappeared from her documents folder, even the non-drm'd material.
It still appears as being on the Nook when viewed through ADE.

Any suggestions?

I was about to buy a second nook for my daughter but now I have my doubts.

I assume you mean that you can't see them from the NOOK, but you can see them from the computer.

It sounds like a bum file got added. NOOK displays sideloaded content by the title and author in the files, and if it finds a file that it can't extract a title and author from, it tends to just give up on the whole thing.

See what files got added recently and take them off.

I'll give it a try.

Thanks but that didn't seem to work.
