Great, now I'm having trouble with Calibre. I have it hooked to my NOOK and it doesn't recognize that it's hooked up at all. So I can't upload or remove books from my NOOK.

I can download books to Calibre and I can read in Calibre, I need to know if the books uploaded to Calibre then to NOOK will work now that I removed ADE. Oh, and I found out that ADE makes a folder for itself onto the NOOK if it's downloaded and used on your computer. So I deleted the ADE folder and got back a little space on my NOOK. I removed the folder <i>after</i> I found out that Calibre wasn't hooking up to my NOOK. So removing the folder is not the cause.

Do I need to uninstall Calibre and reinstall it again? I have over 300 books on it and I didn't want to do that if I didn't have to.

Help? :(

I can't really help you with the ADE and Nook recognition issues, but generically speaking, have you tried updating calibre, or resetting the Nook? Or using a different USB port? When in doubt, I always shutdown/restart things...

To put your mind at ease, if you backup the Calibre library folder(s) , or just not delete them during the uninstall, you can tell Calibre to use a particular folder as the library during the install (or manually with switch/create library command - select 'Use the previously existing library at the new location' in order to magically populate your new install calibre with all the books.

Good luck!

p.s. if you have changed any settings it also doesn't hurt to back up your Calibre config folder. To find this folder go to Preferences -- Miscellaneous and select the button that says Config folder location.

Why don't you download the last version from Calibre.com and install that. It will install over the top if your current version and hopefully repair anything that's gone wrong. I do that regularly anyway as they update Calibre at lot and its important to keep close to the current version.
