ADE will not work with NOOK V1

No matter how many times I uninstall, clear temp internet files, Erase and Authorize my NOOK V1 I am not able to transfer my Libraries ePub books from my laptop to my nook using Libby and ADE.  The error: "CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - no permission to copy the book" stops the transfer.  I have uninstalled all the windows apps and reinstalled as Adminstrator - didn't help.  The epub file permissions show that my email id (via Adobe) has permissions c/w viewing on any device.  Still the transfer fails.  My nook is even registered with the SAME email id as my Adobe Account - still notta.  I'm frustrated and discouraged.  Barnes and Nobel sent me a note stating that my NOOK V1 will be unsupported this month.  I can see that Adobe and B&N have no plans to get this working.  B&N WILL NOT suck me in to purchase another eReader just to drop me from support years down the road and make me throw it away.  There's got to be a better hardware product and ereader software company. 

Has anyone been successful getting this combination to work please?  ePub, Libby, ADE, Nook v1.   Thanks 🙂
