Loading books with Adobe Digital Editions on your nook or nookColor

We've had a lot of questions on how to load books on the nook from other bookstores. Do you need an Adobe ID first? Can you do it from multiple computers? Should you manually transfer the books to the nook or nookColor?

While you can use the nook application on a Samsung Galaxy Tab or an iPhone only the nook or nookColor device will allow you to use ADE to transfer DRM protected ePubs to them!

Kobo has over 2 million ebooks to choose from!

I think the ability to load non-B&N content on the nook is the #1 feature for me. ADE is the closest thing to a standard in this world of copy-protection and it seems to give e-reader owners the most flexibility.

Using Adobe Digital Editions is the key to using non-B&N purchased content on your nook. It's quite easy to setup and get books on your nook (Works on any nook device, 3G, simple touch, nook color, nook tablet). This video takes you through the configuration, book download, and transferring process.

I've put together a short video that details the exact process to configure ADE and load a book from Overdrive or Kobo onto the nook. I hope you find it useful!

Hello,

The ADE setup assistant never showed up when I downloaded and installed Adobe Digital Editions. And yet, it says my computer is authorized under my email address. The nook icon only appears in ADE if I plug Nook with the USB cable into my PC. So far, I haven't been able to download any books from anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

How can I download library books onto two (2) nooks using the same PC? One Nook belongs to my sister with her own library
account and the other to me using my own library account.

I'm getting an ADEPT_REQUEST_E XPIRED error messages when trying to download a library book to ADE. It's worked many time before, but now, this message. My time zone, time etc. are fine. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks so much for this video. It was so easy to follow and it worked! I thought I wouldn't be able to use my Books-a-Million gift card to purchase books and transfer them to my Nook. I downloaded ADE into my computer but didn't know how to get the book over to my Nook. I was about to give up until I found your video. Thanks again.
