The bad part is that the files just show as an inelegant epub filename there's no cover to view. You can access the epub files by going to Libary -> My Files -> My Downloads.

The Nook downloads the book into a separate Downloads area on the nook as just a regular epub file. I have Calibre-server running on my Linux box and I use the Nook web browser to view the library and download books from the calibre-server. I'm using my Nook Color with the calibre-content server on a regular basis. Is there a way to download books to the Nook by accessing the calibre content server web page? I'm an iPad user, but I'm very interested in some of the magazine subscriptions for B&N and the form factor of the iPad is just a little too big for comfortable bed time reading. If Aldiko and Moon are released on the nook market you will not need to root your nook. I love this because I don't have to filter through books on my local nook, I can use calibres tag engine to search for a book I want to read. All you have to do for Alkdio/Moon is point the app to the web servers IP:PORT address and the rest will work flawlessly. For the Kindle app I have to download the books through a browser. On my ROMed nook I can easily download calibre content* either with my web browser or through Alkdio or Moon eReader apps. That said the nook is a good choice if you are willing to root your nook or better yet ROM your nook you can get close to the performance of a Samsung. Thanks!I really love my nook but for $100 more the Samsung is really a better choice than the nook. At least with the NC, I can either get my de-DRMed books or root it and install the Kindle app on it (I think).Īnyway, this is good information.

I could avoid that by running the Kindle app natively, but all the other tablets are too expensive. We buy most of our stuff on Kindle, but remove the DRM. What I really want is a Samsung tablet because I can run the Kindle app on it. The main reason I'm looking at the NC is the form factor and the cost.
