Question How do you read Sony eBooks on a nook?

In another thread someone mentioned you can read books purchased at the Sony store on a nook. How do you do this? Does the Sony software recognize a nook as a device when plugged in?

Here's the best info I found on reading Sony and Overdrive library books on the nook:

Nook Feature Review

You need to have both Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) and the Sony software on your computer for Sony books, and just ADE for Overdrive books.

The Sony software didn't recognize the nook when I plugged it in. I had to move the Sony book to ADE and then load onto the nook from there.

It's very possible. That's pretty much the only place I get my planned content (impulse buys still come from nook)

Once you have your Nook registered with ADE, you can pretty much drag and drop what you want.
