If you have a Nook Color, try these directions to "unlock" it:
smallbusiness. chron. com/amazon-ebooks-work-nook-27312.html
Alternatively, you can use the system Calibre to change some e-book files into Epub files, which can be read on newer Nooks. This will only work on those that are DRM free, and you won't be able to tell which are until you run them through the system. Here's the link for Calibre if you want to give it a go:
calibre-ebook .com/
Nook is falling far behind amazon, it might be worth it to drop $50 bucks on an older or refurbished amazon model if your Nook is as old as mine is.

In my experience, it is best to read E-books by using a laptop or portable computer and downloading free versions of E-book reading applications designated to each hosted site that publishes them. Or for smart phones, download a free BN app, set up payment information, and browse their store without the stress for file compatibility. I use Kindle Preview reader from Amazon's Kindle app on a computer, then select book type view after downloading the paid E-book through the app from Amazon Kindle's site, which eliminates the need for the expensive Kindle or tablet devices.
As for the first question, the best way to bring Amazon type E-books to a simple nook would be to download a Kindle reading app from the nook's app store, or hope that the system can handle a third part app installation from the ordinary browser through google. Honnestly haven't tried it though.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time with your nook. Although I like and appreciate Apple products, I love my nook. Mine is about 2 years old and has the app and internet functionality. I have the nook library as well as my kindle books downloaded onto the device. It also has a removable SD card for extra storage. I have never had any problems with it. The price I paid at the time was $80 because I had a trade-in. Most Barnes and Noble Bookstores have an electronics expert that handles any nook issues. They can help you to fix any issues and help with some of the apps. The store is also good about connecting you to the corporate nook people in case you need to have your device repaired or have issues beyond the expertise level of the Barnes and Noble electronics expert.Word_Lover wrote: ↑23 Jan 2017, 15:37 I am not familiar with the Simple Touch version of the nook, but the one that I had a nook not that long ago (it was one step down from the super Galaxy Tab) and had internet/app functionality. While that version was able to download apps (such as Kindle and Overdrive), I felt like I was having a lot of problems with it. The battery would drain really quick with all but one app closed and I had to reset the whole thing 2 or 3 times within 6 months of getting it. And let me tell you, resetting it was such a headache! You had to have multiple accounts and passwords before you could even get into it! It was such a mess that my husband ended up getting me an iPad mini to use as my e-reader and I love it. I am a fan of Apple products (on my 3rd iPhone and regular Mac computer) and am very pleased with my Mini. It is small enough to easily carry, pretty light weight and allows me multiple options for reading formats and apps. If you are not a fan of the nook, I would strongly recommend the iPad Mini for your e-reader replacement.
That being said, I also have a 2nd-year I-Pad...yes, I know it is ancient in technology years. I cannot download most new apps anymore because it is beyond the point of installing updates. It still has the apps I previously installed including my Kindle app and books. It makes a great reader.

I haven't actually tried this but, apparently, you can save your books to a micro sd and then read them on your nook. Apparently, they will read pretty much any format. One of my daughter's used to work at Barnes & Noble and she said that I could do that on the nook she got me, which was a long time ago, so I'm assuming the newer ones you could for sure.IrishWFL wrote: I have a nook simple touch - no apps, only internet acesss is the Barnes and noble store.
