[CentOS] CentOS 6 and android connectivity (Nook)

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.
