The upside is that you will still have access to books you paid for if, say, B&N decides to cut Nook or something along those lines happens. |

ZodWallop, I have no idea what I have done since I do not have an eReader yet. All I know is that I could not open hundreds of books on Calibre. Then I added the correct plugin, and all but 14 books opened on Calibre. I deleted those 14 and added them back to Callibre and they can be opened now.
I assume that they are not ready to be put on an eReader yet. Maybe I can only read them on Calibre. I wish I could find Calibre for Dummies! I am still having trouble with the basics like multiple authors for a boxed set and how to organize my books by genre. The ebook for help is not much help for basic stuff. |

As to multiple authors: enter them in the author field as First Name Last Name & First Name Last Name & First Name Last Name (without any commas). The author_sort field should correctly autopopulate from that. |

Personally, I don't check for errors in my ebooks and I've yet to encounter a book I couldn't read on my Kobos. Doesn't mean such books don't exist, but they don't seem to be a frequent occurrence. |

RCentros- "As Sirtel mentions, reading them in Calibre's viewer is the test and means you can read them anywhere." It was so easy...too easy, so I thought I still had so much to do. So, if I want to put the Nook for Windows app on my new computer, I cannot just transfer it from my old PC to my new PC, right? I think it has to be downloaded directly. The same thing with downloading Calibre into the new PC. I guess the library (data) can be transferred though. Thanks! I feel like I am getting somewhere. |

You can also back up the B&N hash code created in DeDRM and copy it to your new computer. The backup (and restore) feature is built into the DeDRM plugin.

And how do I back up the hash code? Do I need it? Thanks. |

Just go back to Calibre -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Show Only User Installed Plugins -> Click the little arrow beside File Type (to open it) -> Highlight DeDRM -> Click Customize Plugin (on the bottom of the screen) -> Click ADE PassHash (B&N) eBooks -> Highlight the Hash file -> Click the little blue Floppy Disk icon -> Name and Save the *.b64 file. To install the hash file on the new computer basically do everything the same, except instead of saving the hash file, choose "Import the Existing Key file" (the one you saved with a *.b64 extension). That should be it. By using this process I was able to move the Hash "Key file" to my Linux machine. (I still have to download the books with the Nook App in Windows, however.) Good luck. |

You cannot open that eBook in the editor if it has DRM. For ePub, you can use Quality Check to see they have DRM. |

But better to run Quality Check to be sure, yes. |

If the DRM has not been removed for some reason but can be removed, the viewer will show the eBook. The editor won't show the eBook if it has DRM so to do the test, use the editor if it's KF8.

Yeah, but with a couple thousand books like the OP has, opening every single one in the editor would take a lot of time. Another way is to do a bulk conversion (from epub to epub or from azw3 to epub) - books with DRM won't be converted.
