Well, I have downloaded into Calibre the 1200+ books that I bought at B&N. Plus I had other books in Calibre, so total books = 1363.

1,116 books opened up as Epubs. 233 books did not open.

I did not remove those 233 books from Calibre.

After installing the plugin to Callibre, 219 of those 233 books opened so I did not have to remove them from Calibre. I only had to remove the remaining 14 books from Callibre, then add them back to Callibre and they opened as well.

Is that normal? I thought I would have to remove all 233 books. Saved me a lot of time.

I also fixed the problem with covers of the books. Once a book opened, I right clicked on the opened book, clicked on copy image, closed the book, then went to medadata and right clicked where the cover should be. Pasted the image and I now have all books with a cover image.

I did not know that would work until I tried it. What a great shortcut!

Now, on to Kindle books! I had read about Nook books being so difficult and having to find a key.......

Thanks everyone!
