I have the same files on my girlfriend's real nook and it shows the cover art fine. The other e-reader apps on the android see it fine too. What's the deal?

So I can get Calibre to send my books to my device and they show up in their respective folders but the cover art I added in Calibre shows up as a separate file from the book rather than on the book itself. Any ideas as to how I could correct this? I am saving them as ePub. Maybe a different format?
I've had th same problem. I've looked on the caliber forums and they say that the NC gets the covers from the first page of the book (not the image), but mine don't show up with either present. Sorry I can't give you a solution.

Make sure you have the latest version of Calibre. I've sideloaded several books and all bring over the cover art with the book file.
I'm running 1.0.1, rooted.
Yeah after I played with it a bit more I realized it got the cover from the first picture in the epub file. I got it to mostly work except for a few books that wouldn't allow me to add in the image I wanted to the front of the book.
I understand they can't go on the homescreen but is there anyway with or without root to get some art?

I was talking about in the library for it to have the cover, not on the homescreen.
If it doesn't have art you can just add it using the Calibre software.
If you download covers in Calibre then re-convert them, the artwork shows with no issues.

I've been using Claibre to put art on a bunch of sideload booksI already had, but I've got one set that WILL NOT show the art on the library, no matter what I do. Anyone else have this issue?
I've had the same problem. Some of the books I send from calibre have covers, some do not. If I go to the folder the epubs are stored in, the picture file is there, but the covers don't show up in the library.
I'd love to find the solution.
Same problem here...
I was able to fix most of them by deleting them from my nook, then going into calibre and reconverting them epub to epub, then reloading.
If that didn't work, I deleted again, went back to calibre, edited the metadata, but chose a different soucre, and downloaded the cover again.
But after doing all of that, I still have one that I can't get to load with a cover...
The way that has worked on every single book for me, is to convert the book to Mobi, then delete the epub file, and reconvert it back to epub. (using Calibre)
There are certainly other ways as mentioned above, but this has worked well for me and I've yet to have a book which doesn't show the cover art.
After much trial and error, I hit on Brebauer's solution of delete, edit the metadata, but rather than just reinstall, went back to the convert tab on Caliber, attached the new cover again from there, then converted again. Also, after deleting the old copies, I did a full power off on my Nook before restoring the new ones. Then another full power off before checking new ones. Using that method, I did a package of 30 very late last night and every single one was perfect.
Hi. I want to put the "reader" app (the dafault nook reader app) at home, but I can't find it at the app drawer. Is there any way to do it? It doesn't show in the app list of desktop visualizer either...
Thanks
It's listed in the Apps draw as library.
Thanks, but the library opens the list of books, not the last one I'm reading.
I rooted my Nook using Touchnooter and have the little book icon at the top of the screen which takes me back to the last book and page I was reading.
Anyone have any experiences with Plex on the Nook HD or HD+ they'd like to share? Plex on my rooted Nook Tablet has been a little disappointing, with the app being pretty hit or miss as to what and how smoothly it will play back. I was hoping I could stream through the web client, but won't play anything back through Dolphin browser.
Does it work any better on the HD or HD+?
Wondering as well. Getting one for my daughter. I know it runs bad as a win8 app so not holding my breath.
I bit the bullet and got a Nook HD with the Staples deal today and bought Plex from the Nook Store. It actually runs pretty well, much better than on CM7 on Nook Tablet.
However, the softkeys bottom chrome doesn't fully go away in full screen (turns black), which is quite annoying. I hope this is fixed in the future or at least made optional.

That turning the bottom bar black is not a bug. It is called "lights out" and is a feature of android. B&N designed the bottom bar to not go away with ordinary apps so some apps use lights out to make it look like it is gone.

Hi all, new Nook HD owner here with a 2 day old nook now running the new 2.1 firmware.
I've also purchased a cheap nook simple touch but haven't received the order yet .
I've tried a book from the nook store at what page I'm on is synced between the nook and the iphone app, so will be for the eink reader too.I guess
Now, I have a number of DRM free epubs that I've tried copying over using usb and using dropbox and I can read the book, but the page number doesn't sync between iphone nook or my nook hd.
Do you know if sideloaded ebooks should sync, or do you know if there is a way to do it in any way?
I really want to use the built reader rather than an app because I love having big book cover art on the desktop, but I think you can't do this with an app
