Nook books on a Kindle?
I got a B&N gift card as a Christmas gift - so my question is to whether or not I can "fiddle" with a purchased nook book and read it on my Kindle?
I know you can't tell me the specifics, but if someone could at least let me know if it's possible, I'd appreciate it. I don't know anything about Nook formats vs. others. But, I do know how to use an epub from my library on my K3 today. TIA! |

Thought of another question - how are Nook books delivered if one does not have a Nook?

You can also install the Nook for PC software and read your book directly from your PC is that what you want. |

I used to have the nook for PC app installed on my computer but I don't even do that anymore. As somebody up there said, you just buy the book and put it in your library, then when you click on download it just saves a file to your hard drive.
The Calibre plug-in for Barnes and Noble will remove the DRM. If you Google "Apprentice Alf Blog" and look at the entry for tools v2.3 you will find it. Then it is just a simple matter of converting from ePub to Mobi. |

I have tried using the calibre plugin for B&N but I still get the error - cannot convert, etc....
I am not sure if it's my NAME (one character) or CC info. But clearly something does not compute. Also, I've got the nook pc reader - so I seem to have two copies - one I directly downloaded and one from the nook-app storage in MyDocs (or wherever it stored it) - neither copy will decrypt. B&N would allow me to change my name but that might affect books I've download??? |

I just read up on one of the other forums that somebody else is having problems today getting Barnes and Noble DRM to authorize correctly? Maybe something is screwy today.
I don't think it would affect anything you previously downloaded because the DRM has already been set on those files. It should only affect the books that you currently download. |

I think we, B&N and I, had a discrepency in my name associated with the account. I changed things and things changed - for the better.
