Sorry, I should have been clearer about how to move these to a Nook/Kobo, etc. Most of the instructions have already been given, but here's a step-by-step in case that's useful:

If you don't already have Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), I'd install that first:
- Download the ADE software: Link here
- Install the ADE software.
- Run it and go through the process of getting an Adobe ID and activating your computer.

If you plan to move the files to a Nook, Kobo, etc. then tie that to your ADE software.
- Plug the eReader into the computer and run ADE, if it's not already running. Wait for the drivers to install and it to be recognized by the computer.
- ADE should detect the reader and offer to tie it to your existing Adobe ID. Say yes.

Join Copia, get the books, and install the software:
- Join Copia: Signup
- The free ebooks are here: 7 Modern Classics and here: Harlequin
- Install the Copia software from here: Reader download page
- Once you have "bought" all the books you want, run the Copia software and register your account. Do not try to register your Adobe ID if you've already done so on your machine. Just skip or cancel that part.
- Hit the "sync" button in the Copia software to synchronize with your library. This only downloads the titles and cover pictures.
- Double-click each book in the Copia software to get it to download. Click "no" if it asks if you want to read it now.

Move the books into ADE, and then onto your Nook or other eReader
- Quit Copia software and launch ADE
- In ADE, select Library->Add Item To Library. Navigate to My Documents->My Copia->Books (this is from memory; I might be slightly off). Select all the epub files in that directory and click OK.
- Once the books are added to your ADE library, plug in your eReader and drag the books you want from the library pane to the eReader icon on the left side of the page.

Hope that helps!

Don
