Nook plugin prefers Kindle folder?

Hello all,

I have Calibre v0.9.30 (latest available on the Calibre web site). I had previously been using it with my Kindle Keyboard and everything worked just fantastic--all the books were synced to the device and organized in folders by author name, just like I expected.

Last week I took advantage of the sale on the Nook HD+ (running OS 2.1), and I reconfigured Calibre (by running the setup wizard) to use epub/Nook vs. mobi/Kindle. I had previously installed the Kindle app on the HD+ from Google Play to get access to my Amazon ebooks.

Once I started sending ebooks to the HD+ from Calibre, it invariably put them in the Kindle folder, and just dumps them in a pile instead of in folders (even though the Nook plugin is set to use sub directories and has "{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}". For the life of me, I can't figure out how to tell it to stop putting the files in the Kindle folder. Other than not using subfolders, it wouldn't be a big deal except that now all these epubs show up in the Kindle app and can't be read there. After a few hours of Googling and experimenting, I finally gave up and uninstalled the Kindle app & deleted the Kindle folder from the HD+. I then sent books back to the HD+, and now (presumably since the Kindle folder can't be found) Calibre puts them in the Books folder, which is where I would have expected them to be in the first place.

So...is there a way anyone knows about where I can get Calibre to always put its books in the Books folder instead of the Kindle folder?

I think I might have found something regarding not using subfolders:

but I'd still like the Nook plugin to always prefer the Books folder over the Kindle folder.

Right click on the device icon in calibre when it is connected and select configure this device, the nook HD+ uses the mtp plugin not the nook plugin.

Thank you so much, Kovid. That configure option is so much better than I had expected--I've got it all tricked out now!

Thanks!
