Hi,

I've looked through the thread on Calibre and Win 8 compatibility, but my problem is more specific. I borrow ebooks from the Boston Public Library. I prefer to use Calibre to manage those books on my Nook, but run into DRM problems. I do have the latest version of Calibre. I am forced by the library servers to download my book through Adobe Digital Editions, but then use Calibre to transfer the books to my Nook. When I do that, Calibre gives an error message telling me that book has been returned to the library and that DRM prevents me from reading the book. If I, instead, transfer the book to the Nook directly from Adobe Digital Editions, there are no DRM problems and I can read the book. When I used Calibre to add a library book to my Nook and I had a book I was already reading, the book in progress also showed as having been returned to the library and Icould not continue reading it. I used Adobe Digital Editions to transfer that book and chose, "replace file." That got the book in progress back on the Nook so that I could finish reading it.

I had none of these problems with Win 7. I also have purchased books on my Nook which I keep on the micro SD card. The library books I put in main memory. Calibre is very good for that kind of organization. It has much better UI than Adobe, IMHO. Can anyone suggest to me where the problem lies - with Windows 8 or with Calibre (or maybe me)? I'd like to get back to the smooth book handling that I had when I was using Windows 7.

Thanks for any help.
