While downloading an e-book from ALD I have made a few notes on what worked for me on my Mac, no WIFI, at home. After installing Adobe Digital Editions the icon was on my desktop.
Some of these tips may work for other computers.
I went to "On Demand" on ALD website, connected to Ebooks and signed in. Select genre from list on left. Check "only show titles with copies available" if you want. Click submit. Select title you want, add to cart. Proceed to checkout and choose lending period. Confirm checkout. Go to "my bookshelf". Download--the title goes to downloads on my Mac at home--not to ADE. (This seems odd but it works for me).
On a MAC go to Finder, then to your downloads and find title you downloaded.
Plug in Nook BEFORE opening ADE. Turn on and unlock Nook. (This is different than the instructions that Barnes and Noble gave me). Nook icon will appear on desktop. Open ADE from icon on the desktop. Another ADE icon will now be on the dock. Drag the title from your downloads to the ADE on the dock. See message that file will open in ADE. Click "open". Wait for title to download to ADE. Picture of title will fill ADE screen.
Click "Library View" (icon of 3 books in upper left corner). All of the titles you have in ADE will appear.
"Nook" is in list on left side of ADE screen. If it is not, close ADE and re-open it.
Drag title to the Nook. A green symbol appears as you drag.
Safely eject Nook by double clicking on Nook icon on the desk top. Nook will appear in left hand column. Click arrow to safely eject Nook.
Check to see that title is on the Nook and can be opened and read.
Please comment with other ideas or shortcuts.
THANK YOU, Colleen. I was going to have to search all my notes from when my son got an e-reader two years ago to relearn how to deal with e-books on a Mac, and you have saved me probably HOURS.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can't drag my e-book from the Adobe Digital Editions library to my Nook. I don't know why yet. I will re-post (riposte?) when I find out.
