Classic How do you get pdfs on the Nook?

maroonmadness · 01-04-2010, 02:31 PM

Newbie posting here. I looked around and I am sure this is easy to find out, but how do you get the pdfs on your Nook?

I get the whole connect to the computer via usb cable, but where do I put the pdfs at on the Nook? Is there a certain folder that I need to drop them into?

Thanks!

I just did that the other day but I do not remember the exact name of the folder. It was something like 'My Documents'. Simply copy and paste the PDF there and you will see it on your library.
Just do not expect the PDFs to look all that great. The Nook cannot format PDFs properly on the screen thanks to a poor Adobe implementation for such readers. Hopefully a much improved Acrobat Reader will be delivered in a future firmware.

The best way is to download a copy of Calibre (free, but you should make a donation for this great software). Then it will convert the PDF or txt files to the ePub format that the Nook loves.

When you connect your nook to your computer, you will see a new volume/drive called nook, put your pdfs and epubs into the My Documents folder there and after disconnecting nook from your computer you can access them by clicking my library/my documents (afair).

I need some help. I've placed a lot of pdfs on my Nook, but when I try to access them I get the following message: "Activity library (in Application Library) is not responding." Why would I get such a message. Do I have too many on it?

1. yes

2. yes

3. yes

It would probably help if you started a new thread instead of adding a question to a 4 year old thread.
