Classic Question about library books?

tiniree · 09-15-2010, 03:28 PM

I went onto ADE and "returned" two of my library books. How long does it take for the books to be deleted form my Nook? I have turned it off and on twice and they are still there. When I click on "read" it tells me the book has been returned.

Do they stay there forever? They aren't on my ADE list anymore.

I think you need to manually delete them from your nook via the PC.

Yep, the files will stay on your Nook until you delete them.

What I usually do, is next time I've got Nook hooked up to the computer and ADE opened (because I'm borrowing more library books), is delete them through ADE on both nook AND my computer.

Remember, they are first downloaded to your computer before you transfer them to nook through ADE, so you should also make a practice of deleting them from both computer and nook when you are done, if you don't want them to take up space on your drives.
