Barnes & Noble Book in my T1?

MickeyC · 10-30-2014, 07:56 PM

Got a discount coupon for a B&N eBook. But can I read it on my T1?

Pretty sure I can read it on my iPad but prefer the T1.

Thanks

There's a very high likelihood that you'd have to strip the DRM* before loading it onto your Sony, unless you managed to luck out on a DRM-free B&N book.

Aside from that, B&N's epubs generally work just fine on my T1.

* And this brings up a different set of problems than are normally associated with use of the tools, since B&N have recently changed the way their DRM scheme works for new accounts/people who've modified their account info, for which we've a really long thread here (that was apparently the second phase of their scheme where they removed the ability to easily download their books directly from their website, but that can be fixed for now with a Greasemonkey script, unlike the other issues).

Preferably one like the Library of Lost Books in Holly Lisle's Hell on High with such books as "It's the sequel to The Witches of Karres," Jack said. "The one Schmitz lost when he moved."

On a more serious note, B&N seem to be doing their best to antagonize their existing customers with the changes they are making.

Any info on this or a thread?

This one in General Discussions that's been going on for the past two months: B&N removed download option on all books in "My Nook" library

All you need do is remove the DRM from any B&N ePub that has DRM and the DRM free ePub will work on your Sony Reader.
