Hi folks
here's my problem: I have my NT setup to run CM7 straight from a 32GB SD (the card is accordingly partitioned). Everything works great, really. However, since the Nook app is my favourite reader I would like to use that. Yet - afaik - it can't be directed to the path where I have my ebooks stored (the SD card partition on the SD card in my case).
Here then my question:
Does anyone know where I have to put my ebook files, so the Nook reader app sees them and puts them in its library?
Or is there actually a way to have the files stored on the SD card and have any reader app access that path?
Cheers and thanx for your help.

Yep. You've already installed the Nook for Android app, correct? If so, you should be able to use any file explorer to copy your eBooks to the folder Nook\MyDocuments. Anything you put in that file (assuming, of course, that it's a file format that Nook can handle) will show up in your Nook app until the "My Files" and "All Items" pull down menus.
Salduos and happy reading,

my gtablet recognizes the folder sdcard as a folder in the internal memory and the microsd as sdcard2 for some reason. when i plug it into my computer, i cant access the actual sdcard2 folder, so i cant access the micro sd. anyone have any experience with this? or any fixes?
thanks a lot. im running tntlite 4.4.0 on it.
That is how it is supposed to be on most ROMs...not just TnT
Pull out the microSD card, plug it into an adapter and plug the adapter into your computer. Then you will be able to read and transfer files!
Or just copy whatever you need to the SDCARD and use a File Manager to transfer them to SDCARD2 once you are on the tablet...
Right now, there is no way to mount both SDCARD and SDCARD2 at the same time to your computer via the tablet
Actualy there are a few apps on Market that do exactly that; some are add supported so you can try for free. Search for SDCard Mount or MutiMount.
I use the add supported Multi Mount SD-Card. Works fine.
SDcard2 dead!

I'd be careful using these. I got one out of the market that allowed you to access the external sd card. Everything went fine. I copied some of my music to the card and then disconnected from the pc. When I went to look at the sdcard2 folder via RootExplorer, I found that 2.39 GB of my 32GB card was used but could not access anything on the card. Now, my g-tab refuses to even see that I have an external card installed and I can't even get the format option in settings to attempt to rescue the card.

eek that sucks. which one did you use?
get ESfile explorer. you can move stuff back and forth between sdcards or a server location. you can also copy from lan location to sdcard2
is that on the market or somewhere else?
it also is installing all of my games and stuff to the tablet internal memory. liek the dungeon defenders stuff.. all of it is downloaded onto the tablet sdcard folder, not onto the sdcard (sdcard2). anyone have any workaround for that?

I'll respond and say it was Multi Mount SD-Card. That's the one I tried, with the same results. I can not get the GTab to read an external card at all. Can see card fine on PC though. I would surely stay away from that one.
I use file explorer to move to the SD Card. THis is a pita and a waste of time. The fastest thing to do is to put it in an SDCARD reader and place it in the PC.
This would be a nice fix and an app worth a buck or two.

Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing this issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
Are you sure your navigating all the way up? Have you gotten to the directory where you can see "sdcard" and are not seeing "sdcard2"
So simple if you know what to look for. Thank you ever so much.
Bought a Nook Tablet and got it to sideload. Downloaded several Amazon Books and Apps. Installed a 32 gb SD card.
When I ran a file mgt program it asked if I wanted to move about 12 apps to the SD card. I agreed to move two to see what would happen.
What happened is that it moved both off the tablet altogether. One app went to the Amazon Cloud. The other app I had to re install from the app store. The card is mounted and recognized fine. I just can't use it for anything on it.
The nook set the card up with folders and some files. Everything should load onto the card especially when masked and moved by the File Mgt program. (ZD Tools and the same happened with Astro)
What is happening? Anyone know what to do to make the card a fully functional data location?
I have an 8 gig sd card on my Nook Tablet on which I have side-loaded apps. I was wondering how I can upgrade to a larger sd card. Do I have to transfer the apps to the new card? And how would I do that? Or do I have to reinstall all of the apps that have been saved to the card?
You should be able to just copy the contents of the old card to your new card. You could also copy the contents to a folder on your PC, and then copy the folder contents to a new card.
A fine point

Do you have the apps actually INSTALLED on the SDcard (this requires some tweaking of settings), or did you download the .APK files onto your SDcard and install them from there?
In the latter case, your apps were installed to the 12GB partition on the internal memory, that is reserved for the installation of apps. In this case you do not need to keep the .APK files on the SDcard.
Simply copying it over (plug nook in -> copy sd card to pc -> switch out card -> recopy OR remove card -> copy to new card (I'd recommend this)) will work fine. I've done it on several cards (I use several cards - large comic and video library etc, travel, and important apps and folders are replicated on each cards). I also have a cute microsd card holder (from sdcardholder.com I think) that holds a bunch of cards I'd normally be misplacing, so handy!
I prefer to keep apps installed on the nook's internal memory (because why not?), so using something like Titanium backup (I think? or maybe another app manager) to move any that automatically install to an sd card is handy.
Thanks for the replies. I thought that I would be able to copy as you guys suggested. I just wanted to be sure. As for where the apps are installed to, I believe the Amazon apps that are side-loaded need to go on the sd card for some reason, so that's why I was concerned.
It sounds like connecting by the cable to the pc and then transfering the sd card files there and then to the new card would be the best bet. Less of a chance for mistakes or corruption.
Hope not too dumb a question but I cannot seem to find the location best suited to copy text, Word, Excel, etc. files to from my laptop to NT. I have CM10 running and a 16GB card, plus a repartitioned area with an additional 10GB although I don't see it.
Where is the best place to copy/access files such as these?

Why not just make a "documents" folder on your SD card and stuff the files from your laptop there?

Well first of all you don't need to add an additional partition on your SD card. You should have 4 made: /boot, /system, /data, and /sdcard. You would place all files onto your /sdcard partition from your computer.
Here's a guide for bootable SD cards, it shows the partitions you should have:

If you're running CM10.x internally on emmc and with an SD card in the slot, you should be able to access both the NT internal storage partition for user-content and the SD card storage. If you use a File Manager app such as ES File Manager to browse the NT's root file-system (you need to go into the FM app's Settings to enable "Root explorer" option) the internal user-content storage is mounted as /emmc and also as /mnt/emmc, whereas the SDcard storage is mounted as /sdcard and also as /mnt/sdcard. You should also be able to see these storage areas when you connect your NT to your PC via USB.
Think the issue is when i use any of the three file manager apps I have installed, and then open /sdcard, I don't see anything. I know for a fact there are apps installed and some test files I copied over, so whats the deal? have given all three root privileges...I'm either looking in the wrong folders, or, something isn't configured correctly far as I can tell...makes no sense
BTW - That is my setup Digixmax - so then these are the locations to copy my files?
