Hi everyone. First post here.

First, what I have. I am planning on buying the Nook. Maybe in the next couple of weeks. I downloaded B&N's eReader for my Blackberry 9000, and it works ok. I am happy to be able to read something on my BB, tho the screen is pretty crappy for it.

Anyway, I have downloaded a few .pdb samples from B&N and they open and work fine on the BB. I recently purchased an eBook from a poker author and the format is .pdf. It is password protected and works fine on my computer, but does not read on the BB, as I think the B&N ereader can only do .pdb.

So I get Calibre, and it seems to work great. I converted the file from .pdf to .pdb and put it on my BB. The ereader sees it, but when I try to open it, it asks me for the purchaser name and unlock code. I enter it, and it tells me the unlock code failed, check the code.

Hmmm. Okay. I contact the author, and he sends me an Epub version at no cost, and tells me that there is no password required for the epub version.

Great! I try to load the epub, but again, looks like the ereader can only do .pdb. So I run the epub thru calibre and put the .pdb on the BB and have the exact same result. It asks me for the user name and unlock code.

Eh? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael
