So, I got my wife a Nook for her b'day. I just plugged it into my system, CentOS 6.5, and what I see is /media/NOOK, and it shows 257k or so - yes, k, not m or g. It's *not* seeing any directories, etc, and the small thing I'm guessing is firmware, since even when I try mount -o remount -rw, it is still r/o.
Googling, I see mentions of fsmtp, I think it was, and yum shows some mtp libs, but I don't see anything that looks like a driver. Any suggestions (otherwise, I need to zip up the ebooks we want on her Nook, and take them downstairs to her's and the kid's system, Lose 8, er, Win8.
I really need to solve this today - we're leaving shortly on vacation....
Thanks in advance.

Mark which nook is it, is it a e-reader or one of the HD tablets, I am guessing the e-reader but wanted to clarify.

I tried to steer her to that, but she wanted the HD (did *not* need the HD+).

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.
Good luck!

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 have also used air drop (app in the store) to also do some file sharing in a pinch. Allows you to access the deivce via a web interface and you can move files, kind of works and something to look at depending on how many files you need to push, pull.

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.

I installed both of his rpm's. Then I copied rsync -HPavx /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules /etc/udev/rules.d - his package installs it there.
And then, no reboot, jmtpfs /mnt/nook, and voila!

Tad late to reply because I get the digest and had a very full day. Also, I don't have a nook but have a Google branded ASUS tablet.
On standard (if there is such a thing) Android tablets there is an ap called "on the go". It turns the one-way, micro-USB interface into a true USB storage device. You also need an A-micro (male) to B (female) USB cable.
I also had some luck with a bluetooth connection but that was a little slow. Handy as a backup though if you don't have the right cable when you need it.

No joy. I used yumdownloader to get libmtp-devel, and its requirement of libusb-devel, and the only header file is libmtp.h. I see that libusb-devel seems to be *nothing* but html files....

I've had this working in the past, with some combination of libmtp and fuse.
There are two gotchas. One, it's a user-space driver, and is slow as molasses. Two, if you normally lock your device you have to unlock it before the transfer and then remember to lock it back up afterwards.
I gave up on mtp after a while and now just adb push the files over. It's not as user friendly, but it's a whole lot quicker.

I installed the android-tools rpm on my linux box. On my phone/tablet I enabled the developer options (on a nexus you do this by tapping 7 times on Settings -> About Phone -> Build number. Don't know about other hardware.). This makes a Developer Options menu item appear in Settings. Under that I set USB debugging. I then connected the phone to the computer over a USB cable and, on the computer, typed 'adp devices'. This spawns a pop-up on the phone asking if this computer should be allowed access. Yeah, that's a bit of a lot of setup, but it only has to be done once. After that you just plug in the phone and type, on the computer, things like: adb push file/or/directory /sdcard/file/or/directory
