I’m not sure, you can re-read the article to check. If you read thru these comments you’ll see I no longer recommend Adobe. You might want to read my Calibre article. http://www.geekgumbo.com/2011/05/18/calibre-the-premier-ereading-program/

Followed your directions and for the first time had Digital Editions recognize my Nook. Dragged and Drop the book into the Nook file on the left but the book did not show up on my nook. I have been struggling with this for months and am frustrated. What step did I miss or do I take next?

On my own, struggling mightily. Your reading was clear and explicit, addressing my needs precisely. Thank you.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure this out and nothing’s worked until I read this and realized the missing piece was that I needed to add books to the”My Digital Editions” folder which then needed to be dragged into the “My documents” folder. You’re awesome!

I’m not sure what you mean by a connectivity problem. This could be because of ADE registration issues. If the icon is there in the window, your hooked up. I no longer work with ADE, and have written an article on and recommended Calibre in its place.

I dragged the downloaded library book to the nook in Adobe Digital Editions and get a connectivity problem prompt on the Nook. Why else should I do?

You probably need to set up your wireless connection. I have the original Nook. If you go to the menus and bring up wi-fi you’ll see the wireless connections that the Nook can see. If you have a home wireless connection, and it shows up on the Nook, you still may have to enter your encryption code to get connected. Tap on the connection you want to connect to, and follow the menus. Also, if you see a little plane next to your battery charge indicator on the screen, your in airplane mode, and all wireless is disconnected. Take it off airplane mode. Once you have established a connection. Go to “my library” on the Nook, scroll down the menu, and tap “Check for new B&N content” and magically all your books will load without ADE. Remember, connection turn on first. Also see my article on Calibre, this is a better program than ADE

You said…”The B&N books are downloaded to your Nook over your wireless connection.” Could you please tell me how that happens? Whenever I purchase a B&N nookbook it goes to ADE but I almost always get the “you don’t have permission” error message. So the only way I get to read my downloads are thru Nook for PC app. I want to transfer the books from Nook for PC to my Nook device but don’t know how. Any suggestions??? Please!

I believe my public library requires Adobe Digital Editions, in fact you have to download it to proceed with completing the checkout process. But you’re saying Calibre is the better solution now? Hopefully ADE works well enough to support my library books!

Your Nook book is stored on the Barnes and Noble web site. When you download the IPad Nook app, you’ll be able to sync with the Barnes and Noble site, and your books will be downloaded automatically to your IPad without any additional charge. You can read all your Nook books without any additional charge on any device that has a Nook app. Also, a nice feature, when you sync to the web site, your page location in your book is also sync’d up.
