Nook Glowlight Issue: "Error opening book. This book has been returned."

I'm having an issue reading library books on my Nook Glowlight 3. I bought the Nook last year and have had ADE 4.5.10 the whole time. I've read tons of library books and haven't had any issues. All of a sudden I am unable to open the epub files on my nook because they are saying they're returned. I can open the files in ADE on my computer and in the Libby Library app so I know they haven't been returned accidentally. The only information I can find on this error is from 2015 so I'm hesitant to download an earlier version of ADE since the 4.5 version has been working for over a year without any problems. The issue is occuring for ebooks I've had on hold and ebooks I've borrowed immediately (I've tested a few). Anyone have some newer information on how to deal with this error? Or contact information for Adobe DE? I tried calling the regular Adobe Customer Service number and they had no idea what DE even is. -_-

I am feel your pain. I too am disgusted with either overdrive, adobe digital, windows, or B&N. I never had a problem downloading books from overdrive to adobe & then to my Nook. Now I sometimes get "error book has been returned' and cannot deal with this off again and on again.

I cannot find any current correct info on this matter. I may not be a brain, but I know computers and really believe that this is a programing problem that one of the big 4 cannot fix. I have tried every meathod listed included going to the register and using different computers. I was going to purchase a new Nook, but why bother. Nothing you will find here or on-line will solve this problem...which seems to go back to 2010.

I have owned several nooks and never had a problem. All I can say is it may be in B&N's best interest to solve this issue since I also have also tested downloand a book from them with problems.

If you should find a working solution, please post.

Yes! I have since moved on to a Kindle and have been much happier. It’s so
much more user friendly and I haven’t had any issues over the last 2 years.
It’s a shame because I want to support Barnes and Noble and keep them in
business but I just couldn’t take it anymore. The issues were repetitive
and there is absolutely no support.

Thank you for your contact. I have owned a nook since they first came out 2009. I have owned several and never had a problem until a couple of months ago when Microsoft (11) downloaded a large update. However, when you are old and have nothing else to do it becomes a puzzle to solve. If I find out more info I will post it. I have a Kindle too but prefer the Nook.

Well, I just found out that OverDrive is going to bit the dust and Libby is going to take over. I don't know if my Nook is compatible.
I found this on the internet...
"In early 2023, the OverDrive app will be discontinued. We encourage you to make the switch to Libby, our newer reading app. Libby is made by the same people, with the same goal of connecting you to your library and to your favorite books, audiobooks, and magazines."

I have a Mac laptop. First I returned a book by mistake and then I couldn't open a new book I borrowed because it gave me an error code saying that the book has been returned. I bored a different book and I got the same error. I deauthorized and reauthorized both my laptop and nook and then the error message changed to cannot find the "sof token". Didn't help to remove and reload the Adobe Digital Editions App. Also I couldn't find version 3 which some people in the thread of replies claim to work. What solved the problem for me is reborrowing a book I returned a couple days ago. I was able to open that one on my Nook and the subsequent books I borrowed.

Hi all,

I was able to use my Nook Glow Light 3 in October just fine. Now I cannot get the book I just borrowed to show in my library on the Nook. I downloaded EPUB via Overdrive to DE3.0 ( I used to have 4.5 but due to these issues previously with the software update, I deleted that and reinstalled 3.0 as advised). I copied the book to my Nook as usual (tried twice) but it is nowhere on the Nook! Any new help / advice would be much appriciated!

In regard to contacting B&N - We initially made contact with B&N by telephone, in particular by calling 800-843-2665, asking for "Nook Support", and then "Nook Device". The person who answered was not sufficiently familiar with the internal workings of our Nooks to address the problem we were having so, after a bit of discussion, she said she would "escalate" our issue to the "Nook Support Team". She then did so internally, and from that point on all communication was by email. In particular, within 24 hours someone from the Nook Support Team sent us an email. The content of that email was of no help, but we replied to that email and included a detailed explanation of the problem we were having, and in due course we got the email reply discussed in my last post here.

We have two 6" glowlight plus nooks that suddenly started doing the "Loan token" error. I spent an unsatisfactory half hour doing the tech support "chat" on the B&N webite and finally got a response of "Its a currently a know issue with the NOOK GlowLight Plus that our Digital team are currently working on." answer from them.

The person told me to "check back in 2-3 days". I had to ask to get the case number so I wouldn't have to go through the whole thing again. I remember something similar happening 4 or 5 years ago or so. Had to wait for them to release an update to fix the problem, but it took a while.

I was actually to contact B & N and was told to use ADE 3.0. So, I uninstalled 4.5, installed 3.0, I then downloaded the book again from the library, but when I copy it to ADE3.0 I get another error message to check activation. In the ADE3.0 help menu, it tells me my computer is authorized. There is no choice to deauthorize / reauthorize at all in that help menu.

Supposedly I should be able to do so per this link:https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/migrating-from-1-7-to-4-0-3---adobe-digital-editions.html

So I am still unable to do anything. Any help / advise?

Thanks

Thanks everyone. I don't have a returned book to try this out on. I have tried the email on Nook support page however unless you have a question that is on a topic on the drop down list it can't be done. They just say they no longer offer support for nook ereader. So I posted a query on their facebook page. Unfortunately I don't live in the USA so unable to call. Appreciate the effort of those who have called. This is not the first time that an update has caused problems and if I remember correctly it took some time for them to rectify the situation.

I too tried the email option and got this: And then after searching further, the site states the hours are 9 am - 9 pm eastern time, so I will try calling soon.

I am having the same issue after having many books loaded successfully in the past, as recent as a few months ago. Has anyone figured out what the problem is yet?

I was able to get the solution to this issue from my local library and it worked for me:

These errors typically occur if there's a problem with your NOOK's authorization. You should be able to fix the issue by resetting the Adobe credentials on your NOOK using a computer.

Note: These steps don't work for the NOOK GlowLight Plus, which is authorized differently than other NOOKs.

Note: We recommend always using the latest version of Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).

Open Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
Make sure your computer is authorized with an Adobe ID or an OverDrive account.
In ADE, go to Help > Authorization Information.

Note: If this option is grayed out, please authorize your computer before continuing.

The authorization window will open and show you what credentials you're currently using for your computer.
Close ADE and wait a few moments.
Reset the ADE folder on your NOOK.

Connect your NOOK to your computer.
Go to [My] Computer and open the drive associated with your device (likely named Device (X:), where X is the drive letter).
Locate the .adobe-digital-editions folder and delete it.

Open ADE, then try transferring the ebook again. You may need to disconnect and reconnect your NOOK for it to appear in ADE.
After the transfer, disconnect your NOOK. You should now be able to read the ebook on your device.

Back to the "Error opening book. This book has been returned issue." I got so frustrated with ADE and the Nook, I'm getting myself a new eReader - a Kobe. Apparently I can connect to Overdrive directly from the Kobe.

The whole process to download and transfer the ePub file to my PC, fulfill it, show the file in Explorer (sometimes that's greyed out) is too complex and frustrating. I am having zero success re-installing ADE 4.5.11 and older versions on my laptop. re-authorizing didn't work. I continue to get the "Error opening book..." message on the Nook. I loved my Nook for many years, but I'm saying goodbye.

My wife and I each have a Nook Glowlight Plus (Model BNRV510, which has the 6" screen not the 7.8" screen). I will refer to this model here as the "GLP6". For the past 4-5 years, we have each been using our GLP6s to get library ebooks from Overdrive, without any problem. But about 2 weeks ago, Barnes & Noble pushed out a new firmware update (v53.0.113), and as soon as that new firmware installed itself in our GLP6s, they both stopped working correctly with OverDrive ebooks. In particular, when we check out an ebook, download it to Adobe Digital Editions, copy it to the GLP6, and then try to open it, the ebook won't open and the GLP6 displays the error message "Error opening book. This book has been returned". Last week we contacted Nook Support at Barnes & Noble about this. Today, B&N sent us an email in which B&N confirms that the latest firmware update has a bug. More specifically, the email from Nook Support included the following statement: "Based on your recent inquiry, we are aware of an issue where your nook may not be able to properly transfer side loaded content and anticipate this will be addressed in a future software update". B&N did not say whether they are scrambling to prepare and issue that "future" update as soon as possible, or whether they are taking a ho-hum approach and might not issue that update for several months. Also, B&N did not offer us any temporary fix or work-around that we could use in the meantime. As to people who have posted here over the past few days, we wanted to share the fact that B&N has confirmed the existence of a bug in the v53.0.113 firmware for the GLP6 (which means that the source of this particular problem is B&N and not Adobe Digital Editions). B&N is probably paying no attention to this forum thread at Adobe. Therefore, if you are having this same problem, we strongly recommend that you make B&N's Nook Support group aware of it. B&N closed down its own Nook Forum back in 2017, but a phone number and email address appear at the bottom of the Nook Support page at the B&N website. The more Nook owners who contact B&N about this particular problem, the more attention B&N will give it, and the sooner B&N will get it fixed so everyone can get back to normal.
