rooted NST running relaunch

I have 5000 ePubs and 200 PDSs all on SDCard

I already use Leger Calibre on my Nook HD and Nook Tablet

Is there any eBook Manager that will work with the Android 2.1 eInk?

I tried to install Leger Calibre and eLibraryManagerBasic1.4.1.apk but no luck

C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb install eLibraryManagerBasic1.4.1.apk
476 KB/s (2106163 bytes in 4.318s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/eLibraryManagerBasic1.4.1.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

Is there any way to manage or create Collections from a PC for the NST?
Maybe Sqlite commands or something ...

It is way too slow and ugly to browse the SDcard or run search from the Library app

TIA Dave

A real problem on the NST. The best I've found is Renate's Library.apk http://www.temblast.com/download/Library-1.11.apk

That doesn't have the option for categories or keywords, however.

You might want to take a look at this post on the mobilread.com forums. I came across it a few weeks ago and thought it was an interesting approach--although I have not tried it. Yet.

AFAIK tags are ignored by the Nook Library App

I use tags extensively to auto generate collections on the Sony PRS T2

I aso use Calibre catalogs but that is so lame compared to Leger Calibre and eBook Library Manager where you can view the Metadata and read the book in 2 swipes

The obsolete version of Android makes it unlikely for a hero developer to rescue us...

I wish I had better coding skills for DIY...
