[CentOS] CentOS 6 and android connectivity (Nook)

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!
