I tried converting the book to something readible using Calibre to no avail (so far). I got a message to the effect that Calibre can't violate the DRM restrictions on the file. I then played with ADE also to no avail. I then dowloaded the latest firmware update from the Aluratek website only to discover that it is the same version that came insalled in the device (15). I see there is a version 16 but don't know how to get it or what it offers. I then tried to find the same book at ebooks.com. They had it but for twice the price of the B&N download. I clearly have a lot to learn about this technology. If anyone would like to comment, I would sure appreciate it. I guess my biggest question right now is, where do I download the kinds of books my wife likes to read (typical B&N fiction) and what do I need to do to them to enable the Libre to read them. Did I buy her the wrong reader? Thanks, ritpg
