Help!
But that is were my praise ends. Lately, I have been reading from papered books, but yesterday, I just finished one and I didn't have any others I wanted to read; so I picked up my old Nook and went on-line to B&N's website where I bought an Ebook which I intended to download into my Nook. I discovered I can't do that anymore. Use to be, when I bought an Ebook on line, B&N would send me an Email from which I was authorized to download the book into my computer, and from there, I uploaded the book into my Nook via USB port. After calling their SUPPORT people, I learned I can't do that anymore because they are afraid the book would be stolen. It seems I have to be near a WiFi center so that my Nook can upload it directly. The problem is, I live way out in the sticks and the nearest WiFi area is about 40 miles away. My internet connection is via satellite.
I did go online to see if there was a solution to this problem and I came across one that suggested an app called Adobe Digital Editor. I downloaded the app and installed it. True to form, it grabbed my Ebook, but when I tried to open it, I was denied access by requesting a user name and unlock code which B&N will not give because they are still afraid I would steal the book that I just bought.
If anyone knows of a trick I can use to get this book into my Nook – without driving 40 miles, I would sure appreciate the help.

1) Use that it is on your phone as additional proof of purchase to get them to give you that code to get it on your nook
2) Use your cable to download it from your phone to your computer, from your computer to your nook (this used to work, I give no guarantees that it will now)
3) If your phone is 4g and has the ability, make it a temporary wifi hotspot and link your phone and your nook together and beam your book from your phone to your nook wirelessly
If none of those work, I would get back with them and have them reimburse you and complain until they come up with a satisfactory solution. The e-reader was created for people like us without access to bookstores and libraries, and they should have policies in place to make this work. I really am sorry for your troubles, and I hope this helps.
