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.

    That's a novel approach! And I like the way you describe what you think

    ADE is doing....

    ADE will manage content for more than one user. When it does, then the

    current user does not see the content that it manages for other users.

    Thus, it would appear that ADE has 'lost' the ebooks you downloaded. I

    suspect that there is more than one user in your situation - or you

    downloaded ebooks to ADE under more than one user ID. Did you change your

    email address?

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


    This copy of ADE is on my home MAC.  No  one else uses it.  ADE authorised the computer using my Adobe ID which is my email address which has not changed since I started using Adobe Forums about 9 years ago.  So - what other user does it think it is dealing with?  My cat is computer illiterate..... Come to think of it, he is totally illiterate - can't read either.

    About 25% of my books are missing or showing errors.  Some of the errors are file open errors - error #2038.  Some don't even show an error message when I try to access them - just have error printed in one of the columns.  Very helpful.

    I'm beginning to suspect that ADE is corrupted but am afraid to uninstall it and re-install in case it loses everything!

    Somebody please explain to me why I ever got involved with this piece of software???!!!!
