As far as I know and I have played with a few, but never a nook (well actually I bought one and quickly returned it, due to the adobe drm stuff) you are going to have to play with mtp and most likely you will want to run a newer version that is not in the standard repos, maybe see what epel has.
MTP is the choice for connections and can be a pain to get working and when you do it is clunky and slow.
<snip> Hmmm.... Maybe my ubuntu netbook remix might work... and I know I can rsync between it an my system.
If it is using mtp than Ubuntu's version should work. It might be called simple-mtpfs, not sure what they're using.
(My Nook Color is older. I plug it into a machine and it's just seen as an external USB drive. I run dwm or openbox, so there is no Gnome automounting--whether or not that makes any difference, I have no idea.)
For my android (you'll see long threads on both the forums and this list), which uses mtp, I got mtpfs working on one CentOS machine, but not others, and not on a FreeBSD machine. Eventually, I just used the remote capability of ES file explorer, which let me put an a mini FTP server on the phone. I don't know if the newer Nooks have something similar avaiable, but it might be the easiest way to do it.
I thought it would be as easy as my kobo (which started falling asleep on me - that is, not responding to finger movements, until I turn it off and on a few times. It was used, I may need to replace it), where it's just usb, and I copy.
I did find this, while googling this morning: http://nuxref.com/2013/10/15/upgrading-the-mtp-support-on-centos-6/comment-page-1/, which led me to http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-devices-and-linux/, which I'll try this evening. I was hoping for extras, or elrepo, but no joy.
