7.8' Glowlight Plus and Calibre
Ran out and bought a new 7.8" Nook Glowlight Plus as I think I read online that Calibre can convert the new drm Nookbooks to a Paperwhite compatible format.
Brand new from the store, fired it up, it updated its software twice. Used it to read a book last night. Have the recent Nookbook purchase I've been reading that I want on the Paperwhite. Calibre version 3.44. I connect the Nook, Calibre reads 'callibre_3.44 Connected The Nook [0 books]. So, can Calibre do what I want? But it's not even showing older books in the Nook library. BillJ |

Calibre can only convert books without DRM (Removal Discussion on MR is taboo).
Apprentice Alf is the search keyword for that Google. I don't know about Nookbooks as a format. That may be a problem. |

Oh. So, essentially novels bought on Amazon for Kindle or on B&N for the Nook, can only be read on their respective devices or on android tablets with the apps.
Paperback novels would seem the way to go now. Thanks. |

If you google for Apprentice Alf you can get some help with dealing with the DRM protected ebooks. Thats as much as we can say here. BR |

Looking at the OPs message, I was under the impression that calibre was unable to access B&N ebooks on a Nook ereader so you needed to use one of their applications to download the ebooks to your PC.
