I have both running on my tablet. I am going to leave WebOS for me to use and CM7 for the children to use for games and movies.
How can I transfer Movies, Music, etc to the Touchpad and let by OS's have access to the movies or music.
Would I need to creat a folder that is shared between the two OS's?
Thanks.

Anything you transfer into the touchpad via the "USB Drive Mode" (on WebOS) or the "USB Storage Mode" (on Android) can be seen by both webos and android; so there's no need to make a folder, just copy what you need over.

If your tablet is rooted, just transfer your epubs off your computer into My Files > Books (I think?) On the Nook's internal memory. Then all you have to do is boot into your stock Book profile (or ereader app) and get to reading. Hope that helps

You don't have to be rooted to do this.

I still use the B&N apps since I have books under their service. Although not all the apps work after I have rooted and done my mods, I can still access them using the Books app, or just looking through the Library, both of which are in your apps list on whatever launcher you're using.
Don't try and use the Nook app from the Google Market.
You can purchase ebooks through B&N and they will automatically show up in your Library or you can plug your NT into your computer and simple click n drag into your "My Files/Books" folder and they will show up automatically in your Library.
If your having troubles displaying cover art for sideloaded ebooks then follow these directions. http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-Color-General-Discussion/Can-I-add-cover-art-to-sideloaded-books-now-that-the-Nook-Color/td-p/1037834
What is the process, then, for getting all books into the same spot? Is there a way to have Kindle books, BN books, and sideloaded books all on the same shelf?

Kindle uses a different format, and even their reader reads mobi and not epub.
Unfortunately, if you have different formats, then I don't think there is really a way to have it in one app unless all your books are sideloaded and in a single format. I'm not sure if Google Books handles all the 3rd party formats.
NT's reader app natively supports only these file formats...
•Load EPUB (including Adobe DRM or DRM free) or PDF file types from your computer or microSD card
•Other documents: XLS, DOC, PPT, TXT, DOCM, XLSM, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, DOCX, XLX, PPTX
Amazon uses a proprietary format called .mobi These will need to be converted to a different format to be viewed and recognized on NT. (I believe if your using the Kindle App on your NT you can view them though.)
I use this program. http://calibre-ebook.com/
It easily converts any format to ebub format or any other disered format. It also has a "Send to Device" tab that will transfer to the correct folder in NT when connected to your computer.
Got it. Thanks!
Hello again lol, was wondering...I got a collection of books and most of them are the usual standard PDF's but some are called epubs. Was wondering what I needed to open those up for reading? Thank you in advance for any help I love this community!
the nook reading up can handle epubs just fine as that is the format i use most of the time so no problems with reading them.
oh so just use the default nook reader for those?
You could use any app that supports epub files to read them and i was just letting you know that the nook natively supports the epub format
pretty much the only device/app that cannot read epub is the kindle/kindle app
get calibre can convert any format ebook to any other format....
In addition to the Native nook app, Overdrive and FBReader and Overdrive Media Console (both in the Market) can read epubs. Overdrive is good for reading DRM-protected library books, but it doesn't change pages as smoothly as the native reader. FBReader can read just about anything.
I was reading standard e-pubs but got tired of the changing font size from book to book. I downloaded calibre (it's a book library manager) and used its built in converter to change my epubs over to .mobi format. I then opened these in the kindle for android app. Much more text control and easier to read format. Worked for me.
is there a reader program that can adjust font or letter size without pinch zooming?
Aldiko and Mantano (both great readers) support font changes without pinching.
Rodney
funny, i have mantano and couldnt find that
Not sure why. Mantano stock config supports menu (tap page to bring up menu, choose display, raise or lower font size) and gesture (swipe down) resizing.
Rodney
Im sorry I just looked through it again and just dont see what your talking about. I cant find anything that says font. I went into display and theres just a zoomer and couple other things that have nothing to do with the font.
Calibre
Is it free and can you get the Calibre apk somewhere other than the Android Market?
For epubs I use fbreader. If you're going to do PDFs, ezPDF pro is the best app available, hands down.
I use Aldiko Pro and Calibre (to manage my books). Hear hear!
I'm trying to find a reader able to manage magazines (like Zinio), e-books and pdf docs stored on the Sony tablet s sd card ("sdcar" and also "sdcard2". Is this really impossible? Until now, no solution... I bought various magazines using zinio but I'd like to have a library with al kinds of docs/magazines... in the same app...
I have a very large reading library (18k) of publications most in epub format that I converted using calibre. I've tried Mantano, Aldiko, cool reader, and moon reader. I store my books on dropbox.
Moon reader crashes when trying to access such a large library. Aldiko tries to move all of my books to my unit. I've not messed around with Cool reader or Moon reader much yet.
What I'm looking for is a reader that I can use to do a search of the meta data without loading all of my books onto my note. I'm open to work around too.
I also use Calibre and have a large collection. I was playing around with Giogle Play Books. From my PC I was able to upload some of my ebooks (mind you, I was only playing around and didn't upload them all). Once uploaded, they showed up on my phone and tablet.

You can upload your calibre library on say Dropbox and then access it with moon reader or fbreader.
Can you search the metatarsal of the books stored on dropbox?
Nope, v2.6.4 MoonReader and I can only search the titles
You'll be amazed by SideBooks
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.tokyo_ip.SideBooks
Moon Reader + Calibre Server.
Can browse or search by; Newest, Title, Author, Language, Publisher, Rating, Series and Tags.
Does everything I need and no problems accessing a very large collection.

Did you try ezpdf?
Google Books ?
I don't have a huge collection like you but I upload all my .EPUBs and .PDFs to Google Books and they sync to all my devices fine.
Given the better integration that's finally taken place between Drive/Books, I think it would be compelling to make a copy of your library in Google Drive and use Play Books as your reader. That's what I do, but I haven't done extensive searching yet. What I will say is that it's pretty seamless to load anything from my library, from PC or Drive mobile, it looks absolutely beautiful, Drive and Google Play books are searchable from Google Now, which means you have access to any notation/quote Google does. Drive has come so far and integrates with reading now so well I ended up leaving Dropbox, it just makes more sense for an Android user.
i loved using drive, and even kindle, as an ebook reader. the only thing i didn't like is the lack of customization. if i can't have a black background with red text then i can't use the reader. i read mostly at night and don't like the harsh lights (i keep my brightness less than zero with lux).
my main reader has been moon but i use calibre companion also.
