Question: I downloaded several ebooks onto my computer and now I do not know how to put them onto my Nook Tablet.

There are three programs we teach you how to use. They are all free: Calibre, Adobe Digital Editions and Windows Explorer.

Before transferring your downloaded eBooks from computer to a Nook tablet, first make sure that the prepared eBooks are DRM free ePub or PDF format(compatible with Nook).

Method 1: Windows Explorer

2Open 'My Computer', choose 'Removable Disk', open the 'My Document' folder.

3Drag the e-book from computer hard drive, and drop it in the 'My Documents' folder in the Nook drive folder.

4Un-plug the USB cable, Turn on your Nook, find the book in the 'My Documents' folder. Or you can also do a search job for the book title.

Method 3: Adobe Digital Editions (read protected books on Nook)

Adobe Digital Editions is a program primarily used for managing eBooks and transferring ebooks you have purchased from ePub eBookStores to your device. You also have the ability to copy over books you have borrowed from the library.
What's more, even if your book has DRM protection, you can use this program to transfer the book to your Nook Tablet. We show you how to transfer book to Nook by Adobe Digital Editions.

Step 3 Touch the menu icon at the bottom of your nook for My Library. The book you just downloaded will appear under “My Documents.” Scroll down to the title. Touch “View item details and options.” Touch “Read” to begin reading your eBook.

eBooks can't be downloaded directly from the OverDrive page to your nook. To transfer downloaded eBook from computer to NOOK, you need to make sure the eBooks format can be supported by NOOK. NOOK supports TXT, PDF, Word, and ePub formats. If your eBooks are none of these formats, you need to convert them to NOOK supported format.

If the book's format you want to transfer is not supported by Nook Tablet, and it is DRM protected, such as a Kindle Amazon book, you need a one-stop eBook solution, Epubor Ultimate which can convert DRM protected book to Nook Tablet format within one click.
