First Nook Newbie Question

[rolanni]

So, I downloaded books (yes, bookS; for I am a bookaholic. Which is why there not only isn't any room on my bookshelves; there's no room for more bookshelves in the house. Which is the third or fourth reason why I thought an eReader might be a smart idea.), and I put them in Calibre and then I jacked in the Nook and moved the books over. And, since the Nook was showing up as a J Drive and it asked if I wanted to make a new directory, I did, calling it, creatively To Be Read. I put all the new books into this directory.

I then opened my Nook and behold! there are the new books, but! They are listed as "unshelved" and I needed to moved them to the TBR "shelf". And there's no sound nor sight of the directory I made on the J Drive.

What's up with that? Do I need to install an SD card (*stares at Nook, decides she'd somehow have to Open It Up in order to do this*) in order to make files and file names actually stick?

Abundant Spanish Aunts


ETA: I also made a PDF of "Intelligent Design" and brought it over to the Nook, so I can retire to the couch and read it, thus saving 20-ish pieces of paper. Go, me.

The technical stuff

[(Anonymous)]

Since you went with the nook, and that's what I've got the trick is the my documents folder(s) you can have one on the nook itself, (J Drive) and later one on the SD drive if you wish. I went ahead and got an SD drive because I've downloaded a fair bit of Baen's library and bought all of a certain pair of authors output. I also have most of the CD from the hardcovers and am beginning to buy from the various vendors, although not being able to read B&N content in Calibre sort of annoys me.
I've noticed that tne nook sort of prefers the ebook format, and have been loading most stories in that format.

I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it. It's a long way past the early Embid reader application.
