Covers (jpegs, jpgs, pngs, etc.) for ebooks on the sdcard are in its root in .docThumbs. For ebooks in the internal memory the location is parallel, but in the root "media" folder.
Does anyone know the location of covers for books that have been purchased from B&N? They must exist somewhere locally because they show in thumbnails in the library even when off-line. I think I've located the downloaded books but can't find the covers.
Disclaimer: I actually only have three "free Friday" books but I am assuming they are handled the same way as purchased books would be.

Got my tab a few days ago and just in the process of redeeming my voucher codes... The WHSmith app is HORRIBLE, was hoping that any books I downloaded I would be able to import them into another e-reader, however I cant find where the WHSmith app stores my books?
Does anyone know if it's possible? Or am I required to use the WHSmith app?
i couln't find them on the STG either, i went to the W H Smith sight on my pc, downloaded them from there & then transferred them to my STG external mem card with Kies, then i imported them into my Aldiko reader, works fine for me
the pc sight is --- whsmith.gospoken.com/secure/force;jsessionid=B755B03BE4AB35B6DEFFDAE0A9A049E7
Thanks for the tip!
I've gone through the WHSmith site, Installed adobe editions, but the only file I can download from the WHSmith site is a .acsm file at only 2kb?
What/Where was the file you transfered to your tab?
Some books come through as epub which is easily transferred to tab and opened.
Other are ascm which need to be opened with Adobe digital editions software on PC. Trying to work out how to convert them at the moment. Let me know if you sort it.
OK,
Open Adobe digital editions.
Drag the .acsm file onto the open window
Look in "c:\my documents\My Digital Editions"
There's the .epub file
Problem is eBook app on tab does not recognise the file type. Tries to import it but fails
Adobe Digital Editions help says:
Connect your compatible ebook reader and it will appear as a bookshelf in the library.
This could be the end of the road.
I installed Adobe Digital Editions, clicked on the "Book Title.acms" file & it opened in the ADE, I then went to the My Digital Editions folder and copied "Book Title.epub" & "Book Title.png" (from the thumbnails folder) to my SGT My Files/ebook/import, then i clicked the "Book Title.epub" file, selected "Aldiko" as the program to open it in, selected the import option that opened, the book then opened in Aldiko & is listed on the bookshelf
Okay, so here's my problem with sideloaded content, and I don't quite know what's going on here.
I have a rooted (via manual nooter) 2.1 Nook Color. I can put books on my NC via Calibre and they'll show up in the library. If I download an ePub from the web, and place them in the /sdcard/my files/books folder, they DO NOT show up.
However, if I download the books through Aldiko, and then move the EPUB FILE ONLY, not the folder, it will show up in the library although with a different cover, I'm guessing I need to do an epub to epub conversion to get that, it might just be displaying the first page.
What does Calibre do that moving the file will not? And why would it show up after Aldiko downloads it and moves it. I have a feeling there is something missing from just the ePub and I can't figure it out.
How do you do it?
Moving them to the respective folders doesn't work.
Magazines in .pdf format move to 'Docs' while Videos move to the Gallery.
Is there even a way to do this or is it restricted only to videos/magazines bought from Amazon?
I am trying to figure this out too. I do know a few things:
Newsstand items are stored in the books folder on the kindle.
Newsstand items use the .mobi file type.
I found through torrents a magazine that was advertised as being kindle fire format. I downloaded it and dropped it into my books folder and it showed up under newsstand like it was supposed to. I then opened up the file in Calibre to try and figure out what flag needs to be checked in order for it to be recognized as a magazine but I can't for the life of me find any difference between a "book" and a "magazine".
Also, if anyone knows a program, better than Calibre, that will list out the .mobi file's properties that would help and maybe help me pick up on what I'm missing.
I am going to keep experimenting but if anyone has any idea I would truly appreciate the help. The fact that I have magazines as books is driving the OCD side of me nuts.
Bump
I'd like to know the answer to this too.
oops never mind
Someone has to know the answer to this. =)
When you subscribe to a newspaper like the new york times, each newspaper stacks into one icon. You then click the icon to choose specific issues.
When I sideload content like magazines, is there a way to make issues stack into one folder instead of having them each be an individual icon? I am storing my magazines on a microsd card.
Do you have to through a root browser or is there a simpler way?
I want to create a catalog epub for my UNrooted NST.
The catalog epub will have embedded links (likely html) that, when clicked in the Nook's built-in Reader program, would open another epub in the NST library.
Each page of the catalog epub will give a little info about the book.
Question: what link must I embed in the catalog epub to jump to another book in my sideloaded NST library?
I hope something like this is possible: Sherlock Holmes
Any ideas? Anybody else tried custom programming HTML in and epub to do anything beyond jumping to different sections of a book?
Will probably not work:

The main problem seems to be that the Reader doesn't follow external links.
Put in a link for Google and it flashes but goes nowhere.
(At least that is what 5 minutes of experimenting leads me to believe.)
If it did handle links well you could just write something to handle intents for your own schema.
Then you could write A story or whatever you like.
