[Q] Nook Reader App book Storage Location

[Dudemeister]

I have a Nook with CM7 installed in the internal memory. The storage scheme as seen by CM7 is as follows:

Internal Storage: 5GB
SD card: 1GB
Additional Storage mnt/emmc: 7.39GB​

Both the Internal and the SD are actually partitions on the internal memory, whereas the emmc is the actual SD card.

Now to my problem. I use the Nook Reader app to download and read my B&N book and magazine subscriptions. The problem is, the nook app downloads all the books and magazines to what it sees as the SD card, and it's out of room.

How do I get the app to store it's data to a different location like the emmc or the "internal storage". There are no options to do this from within the app, so I was thinking some configuration file somewhere.

Any Ideas?

The problem is you have a configuration setting wrong. You have selected to swap the sdcard and emmc. That's why it is showing the way you say. Go to settings, Cyanogenmod settings, Application, and uncheck 'Use internal storage'. (edit. See below before you do it). Reboot. That will change things back to normal and 'sdcard' will be your real sdcard. Then Nook reader will use the larger card. You will need to either copy the existing nook directory from emmc to sdcard or redownload your books and magazines.

You may have data from other apps now on emmc that needs to be transferred back to your new 'sdcard'. It might be a good idea to copy everything from emmc to sdcard.

Edit: Another problem I just thought of. You may have some apps installed to SD. If so, go to settings, applications, Manage Applications, SDcard, and uncheck any that are checked (actually, selecting will take you to a screen for the app, select 'move to phone'). Do this BEFORE you change the setting I described above.

Thank you, that worked perfectly. All I had to do is copy the nook folder to the new location and everything works fine.

Thanks again,
