![]() ![]() You can now read your book on your computer.Īs said at the top, it’s unfortunate that Adobe hasn’t created a native Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions. Once Adobe Digital Editions starts up, you’ll see the actual ebook being downloaded. What you’ll actually download through your web browser is a file that tells Adobe Digital Editions the location of the ebook to download. Next, head to your library’s ebook website and check out a book, or download one you’ve already checked out. You’ll first be asked to authorize your computer, which will be necessary to check books out from an online library. Once you’ve installed Adobe Digital Editions, launch it from your Application menu, keyboard launcher, Dash, or however you choose. The process is very simple just select which options you want and click Next. Once downloaded, right-click and use the Wine Windows Program Loader to begin the installation process. Once you have Wine installed, head over to the Adobe Digital Editions website. Here we’ll find the direct link to the Windows installer. Note: you’ll also notice a few other libraries being installed, including some new fonts and a program to deal with CAB files in Windows. ![]() We spent hours fruitlessly searching for how to use ADE with Nook HD/HD+ to read library books and transfer our non-BN DRM-protected epubs to them until we finally realized that the authorization was built right into the Nook HD/HD+ and there's no need for ADE to sideload content anymore.Finally, type sudo apt-get install wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko which will install the latest 1.3 beta and its Gecko web rendering support. After successful authorization, it should say "This app is authorized with the Adobe ID and DRM-protected OverDrive content should be viewable on Nook HD/HD+. If you use OverDrive for books/library books, after authorizing your Nook HD/HD+ with your Adobe ID via settings/accounts, open the OverDrive app, go to "Settings" and choose "Deauthorize", and then choose "Authorize" and "Use My Adobe ID". After closing the new book, it should now appear in your library under "Books"ģ. If it doesn't appear, under "Library" go to "My Files", choose either "Device" or "SD Card" (depending on where you copied the book), and navigate to "My Files > Books" and open the new epub with Reader. Copy the DRM-protected epub from your computer to your Nook's "My Files | Books" folder and refresh the Nook's library. Enter your ADE account (Adobe ID & pwd).Ģ. On your Nook HD/HD+ go to settings (the gear in the upper right corner of home screen) and choose "All Settings", then choose "Account Settings" and press on "Adobe Digital Editions" and "Add User". To sideload/read DRM-protected content on Nook HD/HD+ with Reader and/or OverDrive:ġ. The ADE authorization is already built into the Nook HD/HD+ - all you have to do is add your user account to your Nook HD/HD+. Hope that saves the next person the agony I went through!!įor those with Nook HD and Nook HD+, you do NOT need to use ADE to add/open DRM-protected epubs to your Nook HD/HD+. My wi-fi was connected (read about that being a potential problem in forums) ade in folder (because I could finally SEE it to delete it!)ģ) Powered down and restarted nook again, making sure I was in READ view (not library or home.)Ĥ) then it showed up and I was able to transfer my library files! (at this point Nook wasn't staying longer than 1 second in the ADE program).deleted. not sure if exactly in this order, but close enough!ġ) went to disc management and changed drive letters to Y and Z.Ģ) went to READ section, powered off and restarted Nook, notice it actually made a connection and called it a Nook for the first time!ģ) Excitedly completed step 2 above. Here's how I ended up solving the problem. My other problem was that when I clicked on a drive, it gave an error message of 'please insert disc." Of course, I realize that I have a drive G and H already, so I initially tried changing the drive letter (multiple, multiple times), but obviously not to the right ones! My problem? Would not show up in ADE, or in 'my computer'. Since I spent almost 4 hours trying to figure how to get my Nook to connect to my computer (and I am even computer savvy), I would like to share my solution, which involved the instructions above.įirst - I have a Nook Simple Touch (No SD card) and Windows 2007, ![]()
