Hi, I do not know if I even am at the right place or not, so if not, then I apologize. Maybe you could direct me to the right place? I just purchased an ebook that will open on my computer with adobe reader but not digital editions. I want to transfer to my nook but have not been able to  figure out how. Can this be transferred to digital editions so that i can transfer? Or am I just dealing with a format that is not compatible  with nook at all?

Thank you for any help at all.

    You may want to visit the support page for the Nook:

    Some Nook Q&A (from the support page) may be helpful.

    Q. What File Formats does nook support?**

    Nook supports all eBooks, magazines, and newspapers sold at Barnes & Noble.com. You can also load many other files, including MP3s, as well as ePub, PDB and PDF files. See our nook Tech Specs page for a list of nook-supported file formats.

    You can also load images for wallpaper and screensavers using the JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP formats.

    Q. Can I put other files on my nook?**

    X Yes, you can transfer files from your computer to your nook using a USB connection. You can transfer ePub and PDB files, as well as MP3s, PDFs, and image files (JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP).

    For more help on loading files to your nook, watch our Sideloading Content onto your nook how-to video.

    THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH PDF - DRM.  Even if the Adobe Chat folks tell you it does.  In fact, if you load books into the ADE library, they get "lost"  it's got 300+ of mine.  Too bad I can't find them.   Of course, if you enjoy reading one word per line for a whole novel...go for it.

    Nothing is that sure. But Nooks are known for losing their brains from

    time to time. I suggest you do a hardware reset - you won't lose any

    ebooks. If that helps, then you can go on.... If not, then you have the

    ebooks stored on your computer, and we can play around with them there

    later....

    ================


    Um - the nook isn't losing it's brains; ADE is.  ADE tells me the books are missing.  My nook knows they are there.  ADE has duplicate copies of books and tells me they are missing.  It's the ADE list that is always wrong and it's ADE that seems to go loopy. ADE is not my library manager of choice; it was forced upon me by BookDepository.  Therefore, I only open it when I really need to - like to re-authorize the nook or download a book from BookDirectory. 

    If I do a hardware reset on the nook, I will lose books because ADE does not know where they are.  ADE does not 'have' the book; it just lists the title and tells me it is missing.  It appears to have lost the link between its 'key' and the actual book location.

    I frequently have the nook connected via wifi or the USB.  I am beginning to suspect that if I connect the nook and ADE isn't opened it gets all upset and takes its toys and goes home (de-authorizes the nook, should such a word exist).  I shall do some testing to confirm my theory.  Should I be correct, I will have to open ADE every time the nook is anywhere near the computer just to keep it happy.  What a needless complication.  Anybody already done this and can save me the time?

    Watch this space for results of testing.
