I have a Cruz and I am very new to the eReader world.....and starting to hate it already. I have downloaded a bunch of free ebooks to be sure I understood how to do it before I paid for my first book last night.

I thought I could use the first ebook purchase coupon at Kobo, so I downloaded it from there. I didn' think it would be a big deal since I bought my eReader at Borders and was told that it uses the Kobo eReader format or whatever.

Turns out not only did none of the coupons work (apparantly they were only for a specific *list* of books

) now I can't get the darn thing onto my eReader in a format that I can read. It downloaded as an epub, and I guess my first clue of a problem was that I couldn't get it to download to my eReader........said it would only download to Kobos but that I could read it in Adobe Digital Editions. I have that on my laptop and I have Calibre so I assumed that I could take it from my laptop and move it to the eReader. Put it on an SD card and moved it to the eReader, but FBREADER, BORDERS APP and LAPUTA and ALDILKO--none of them can open it.

SO FRUSTRATED

I still believe I can do this but don't understand HOW!
