Adobe Digital Editios 4.5 not recognizing my Nook Glowlight 4

Hi All,

I just got a Nook Glowlight witht he sole purpose of reading library books from the Libby app. I got the nook in the mail last night and set it up. Last night, Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 was able to recognize and authorize my nook, and I dragged and dropped a library book to the nook, where it appeared but I was unable to open it, getting an error message of "loan token update failed". I reset my nook and connected it to my adobe account (it was not connected to the adobe account before and I figured that was the problem) and now Adobe Digital Editions is not registering my nook at all. The nook is recognized by my Mac. When I try to go into the nook folder, there is not one that says anything about adobe digital editions (other forum responses have said to delete that from the nook folder and try again, but I cannot do this). I have unplugged and replugged in multiple times both before and after opening Adobe, I have deauthorized and reauthorized my computer in Adobe multiple times, I have uninstalled and reinsyalled Adobe, and I have restarted my computer. Nothing seems to work. Any advice? Thanks.

    I'm using a PC, but I'm having the exact same problem as you.  Tried unistalling ADE several times, reset my Nook to factory settings.  Still can't get ADE to recognize the Nook.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    So I found some advice on another thread that worked for me.

    I loaded the library book to ADE as usual after downloading from Overdrive. Then I right clicked on the book icon and selected "Show file in Explorer".  This took me to ...\Documents\My Digital Editions where I could see an epub version of the library book.

     

    I then plugged my Nook into the computer via USB and copied the library book epub file into the "Nook" folder.   After ejecting the nook, the library book showed up in my library.  When I selected it, i was prompted to enter my Adobe ID and password and the book opened.  

     

    Kind of a roundabout PITA way to do things, but it worked.

    Thanks for your update!! I'll try that soon. For now, I have been using Calibre in addition to Adobe Digital Editions and that has been working for me (though I think it is more work).
