Nook and library book question

type · 10-25-2012, 07:07 PM

I checked out a library book that's in .acsm format. My nook simple touch doesn't recognize it. I've downloaded Adobe Digital Editions, and the ebook is in there too.
But I still can't get a readable copy into my nook. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to MobileRead, type. You need to connect your Nook to your computer and then use Adobe Digital Editions to authorize it and transfer the book. This article explains the steps in more details.

One of these might be of help (although you've obviously already gone through the checkout part of the process)...

This is probably covered in the links posted, but just for clarification:
The ACSM file isn't the actual book, just a download "key" that losck up the ctual book that gets downloaded when you open the ACSM file through the correct program (or device with the program installed).

Thanks so much, all. Mission accomplished.
I knew I was missing something simple, then after reading everything y'all offered, I had my "duhhhh!" moment.
