EDIT: Turns out this was a problem with the Nook, not with DeASCM. The Barnes & Noble upgrade today (10/27/21) fixed it. Now I turn off DeDRM and use only DeASCM for Overdrive borrowing on the Glowlight 3. This is the way I prefer to do it. I don't mind removing DRM on my own books but doing it with library books seems to cross the line.

Ran into a frustrating experience trying to use my Nook with Overdrive. Since I use Linux and have never been able to get ADE to work in Wine, I was curious if I could borrow books via Calibre with the new DeASCM plugin (while disabling the DeDRM plugin) -- in other words, trying to do it the "right" way. It would have worked (I believe) EXCEPT when the Nook asked me to enter my login information for Adobe ADE there was no way to type in a period (my Adobe ADE login email address ends in ".net"). They had a shortcut key ".com" but that was useless for me. Has anyone ever ran into this issue in the past? I can still use Overdrive with the Nook Glowlight by enabling DeDRM, but I feel more comfortable not doing that with library books (unless the format is really poor and nearly unreadable).

EDIT: I found the workaround. Just hit ".com" then backspace over "com" and enter "net". A "like-duh" moment.

Despite doing that and using up one of my authorizations — the Nook Glowlight 3 didn't open the book on its own. It threw an error. So I guess DeDRM is still necessary if I want to read library loans on the Nook. (Ah well, I tried.)

EDIT2: The error is "Loan token not found." Should mention that this DOES work with non-library (Overdrive) books.
