Stopped by B&N today to get a better look at the Nook HD.
I like the Nook library system and can probably live with the limitations (no camera, no GPS)
BUT, I asked the guy about library books and he wasn't really sure ...
So, if you have a Nook HD and check out eBooks from a library, then I have a question ...
I check out from two libraries in my area ... one uses Blio an the other uses Overdrive. In both cases, I get the ePub and use Adobe Digital Editions to transfer the books.
All the books show up on my Nook Classic under the "My Documents" library. This library contains books from the library, books from Fictionwise (COMPLETELY missed the e-mails about the FW transfer ... UGH! ...went to spam, I guess), books from Borders (I've had it awhile!) ....
Anyway, on a particular day, let's say I checked out two books from each place and they are due on June 24th ... I make a shelf called "library - 7/24" and put all four books on it. Then I get a message saying a book I had on hold is ready. I check it out and put it on a shelf called "library - 8/3" This way, when I finish a book, I know which books to start next (those closer to their due date).
It sounds like, on a Nook HD (and a straight android tablet) ... my books would be all over ... the library that uses Overdrive would have the books in an Overdrive App, the library that uses Blio would have them in a Blio app ...
Does that sound right? I'd been hoping that the Nook HD would combine all the books from everywhere, like the STR does or at least just have two libraries ... Nook Books and everything else ..
