Nook in Egypt

Hello, I am new to this forum but am looking for any help you can give. my parents just moved to egypt and my mom was hoping to enjoy her nook there. she quickly realized she could not buy new books there and instead had me buy them for her. i am in the usa and used her account to purchase a few new books. she now says she sees that the books were purchased in her barnes and noble library but when she clicks to download nothing happens. my mom isnt super skilled with computers/technology stuff so there might be something she just isnt doing right. or it might just be because they are in egypt!! any thoughts so i can try to help her let me know thanks!!

Sounds like the thing to do is for you to download and then email her the files.

as simple as it may sound have her make sure her wi fi is on and also to have her "check for new content" as well.

They'll be in the format you need when you download them from BN.

She'll be able to sideload them with the cable from her computer.

Last time I downloaded books from my B&N collection, I was able to do it twice. I do not think that has changed recently.

According to the BN FAQ, you can download the books as many times as you need to.
