Is there a way to use Aldiko to read BN purchased books
Anyone?
I prefer Aldiko because of the custom font/background and brightness slider. Am I going to have to figure out how to remove the DRM on a book? |

Yes, you'll need to remove the DRM. There's no way to enter the credit card information that's required for the B&N books.
If you're looking to decrease the brightness more try Screen Filter http://www.appbrain.com/app/screen-filter/com.haxor Last edited by SCION; 12-29-2010 at 04:18 PM. |

The only think aldiko can't do is show illustrations within the book and go back just one page from a chapter's beginning page - which can be annoying but not as nearly as annoying as not knowing if you're at the right page after flipping. |

Understood. Yeah, just remove the DRM. There are plugins for calibre that do this. I haven't used the one for B&N yet.

The new Aldiko version 2.0 (still listed as coming soon, but apparently available in the premium version already), reportedly supports B&N DRM for ePubs. So there is no need to strip DRM. I recommend stripping DRM anyway, but you won't have to with version 2.0.
