My Nook is authorized correctly, and I have no problem transferring and opening Adobe EPub books. However, our library has recently begun carrying Open EPub books, and I can't figure out how to use properly.

When I check out one of these on Overdrive, the download link is marked save, not download. I've tried saving directly to the Nook, but can't find the book on the Nook. I tried to solve this, and downloaded a program to read Open EPub, found one called EPub reader. This gives me a library, and lists the books I've saved. I can open the book in the reader and it opens it in a window on my browser. The navigation bar calls this address chrome:epubreader.

I can "move" the book to my Nook ST, saving it into the My Files Books folder. I can see it when I open files. But, when I go to my library to try to read it, I can see only ADE and b&N books.

What am I doing wrong?
Check if the files have the correct file extension: ".epub".
Also check that the dot from the ".epub" extension is the only dot in the filename. If there is more than one dot in the filename the Nook will not recognize the file type.
