Glo Will the Glo do this:

[Catsnkites]

I have a Nook Classic. I'd like to get a Nook Glow, but I can't stand the library organization.

The reason I would stick with the Nook brand is because over half of my books are from B&N. I thought I read somewhere the you could sideload B&N books on Kobo readers.

So, is that correct? Will Kobo read B&N, ePub, and secure digital books?

Native to the Glo (so, not using any other software), can the user:

a. set up shelves (or catalogs or collections ...)
b. select a book and assign it to one or more shelves (rather than the cumbersome Nook Glow, where the user selects a shelf and then must sort through all 200 books to add one to the shelf)


thanks to all of you as I fumble my way though this purchase ....

For epubs, Kobo uses ADE to read books with Adobe DRM. But, I think B&N a different style of Adobe DRM. I am fairly sure that Kobo don't support this.

Yes to both. You create new shelves from the shelf list. You can then add books to the shelf from a list of books. You can also select a book, use "Add to shelf" and select multiple shelves from the list displayed.

I find the shelf handling on my Kobo Touch to be altogether too painfully slow and cumbersome. If it wasn't for Calibre handling shelves, I wouldn't bother.

Do you use Calibre?

Are you averse to cleaning off the B&N protection?

It would open up your options if you let the Calibre Plug-ins clean the books for you because then you could choose the brand/device of your choice.
