I just did this. I went into my account and re-downloaded all of the books that were in the old Sony format to epub, all you need to do is go to your purchased books and click download. Next, once you've downloaded it, plug your Nook into your PC and go here http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/#fp and select the brown "Launch" button towards the bottom to start the Adobe Digital Editions. Once it starts up you should see your nook listed in there and it should prompt you that it found a new device and will want to know if you would like to authorize it, select yes. Once it's done, you can just go to your ereader library on your hard drive (located in "My Documents" -> "My Books" -> "Reader Library") and copy the books you want to your nook to the "My Files" -> "Books" folder (it has to go here) . The files should end in .epub. Once you do that, you can start your Nook and they should appear in your Library.

The the minor limitations I have found so far that I am trying to see if there is a fix: 1. Books you copy over from the ereader store from Sony will not have the graphic book cover, only a generic typed word cover. 2. Can't add them to the home page on the Nook.

I hope this helps you.
