That's right, I forgot that the Nook has the ability to use your Adobe login right on the device. So, if Barnes & Noble gave you access to a browser you could download the Overdrive book directly to the Nook like you can and (could/can?) with Sony T2, T3? I don't have a Nook here with me, but if I understand you correctly, I would just have to download the Overdrive book to my computer and side-load it to the Nook? Would that work without ADE on the computer?

Sometimes I'm half tempted to buy the $70 Aura 2 at Walmart just to try out that feature, but I've got enough eReaders already (especially after I pick up the Nook Glowlight Plus — 2015 edition).

Kindles are really simple. You can even borrow the book with the experimental browser (if you have the patience).

I haven't seen that yet. I'm guessing the cloudLibrary app wouldn't work on Linux.
