Apparently I'm Adobe Digital Editions challenged!

I'm very new to the whole ebook thing, and wasn't sure where to put this, but I appear to be uncontrollabley inept at ADE......

I have a Nook Color. My wife ALSO has a Nook Color.

I went out to B&N and bought an ebook. I downloaded it to ADE. It showed up fine, displaying the cover. BUT, when I clicked the "library" the book didn't show up. It's not in "All Items", "Borrowed", "Purchased", or "Recently Read"... WHERE did it go?

Went back to my B&N Nook Library and downloaded it to a folder on my PC, instead of sending it to ADE. That way I know it got to the PC, and I can control where the file gets stored. Worked fine. There's a file on the disk, in the folder I specified...

In ADE, I clicked on "LIBRARY" and told it to do an "Add Item to Library", selected the file, and it added it..... BUT, it ONLY added it to "All Items", and the book doesn't show up in "Purchased", which it is......

SHOULD it show up in "Purchased"?

The file is <some long number>_epub.v2.epub, which means absolutely nothing to me when looking at it.... SO, I renamed it, adding
<name of the book><some long number>_epub.v2.epub

SHOULD I be able to add this to ADE, AND get it from there to the Nook? Or must the file remain with the exact name from B&N? I'd try this myself, but the file is already in ADE, and when I plugged in the Nook, it appears it also migrated to there, so I don't have a good way of testing this...


I've gotta figure I'm making this harder than it should be, but shouldn't a book I download to ADE show up? And do they normally jump automatically from ADE to the Nook? 'Cause I never dragged the book to the "Nook", but it's definitely on there... Am I missing something or is this as convoluted as I'm finding it?

Oh, the ADE software is 1.7.2.1131
