also, a program called calibre, which is open source, is available, it can manage your e-reader and acts as a library, you can also convert book types from one to the other, the most common and universal standard is ePub, which is supported by The nook. Get it here:http://calibre-ebook.com/source - I

You can easily transfer ebooks on your computer to your Nook by dragging and dropping them into a folder on the Nook called "My Documents".

You can purchase the kindle versions of books on amazon and pretty easily get them onto your nook. Basically you download the amazon kindle desktop reading app, download the books you want to your pc, and find the folder that they are in. Then you download a free and very popular e-book library management program called calibri and a plugin for it that lets it decrypt kindle files. All you have to do from there is go into calibri's settings and point it to the kindle directory on your pc and it will import them and you can put them onto your nook using the calibri interface. There are guides out there that lay it all out and have screenshots, so literally anyone can do it, and calibri is worth having for anyone with a serious e-book collection anyway as you can tag books with all sorts of info to help you find them easier.

I have the Kindle & my daughter has the Nook. We share by loading books on to our computer on a free program called Calibre. Calibre has a "convert" feature that converts back & forth from Mobi to epub or epub to Mobi since they require different formats (or pdf, etc...) then we load to the other person's reader. Works fabulously!

This is an old question but deserves an accurate answer. Amazon wants to lock you into their book format, Nook (Barnes & Nobel) wants to lock you into THEIR format... and that infuriates people. So don't let them manipulate you like that. Download Calibre, it is a free library manager that ranks at the number one spot on all serious eReade's list. Again, it is free. It uses plugins, easily found on the internet, and also free, that allow you to use any device you want (it converts the formats for you). It can also remove the ridiculous file locks so you can actually save (backup) the books you buy or read them on any device you chose. This is an old question but deserves an accurate answer.

As far as I know, the HD version of the Nook is a newer (not necessarily the latest version) of the nook. It has complete wifi access to various apps and the web and the internet. I think technically it is considered a tablet (as the name indicates) and not just an ereader.

No I am sorry. The two can not be run on the same device...because most nooks run a adobe system with PDF. While the kindle us not running adobe, the books are similar format but I could never find a way for all my books to be on a single device because of the operating systems. Hope I could helP.

No, the Gigs are apparently limited to the program. Which means If the nook is in Android mode there is no available storage.

books are easy, you just register your new device and anything in your library will automatically be downloaded to the new one. Pictures and music, I would say, just pop them on a SD card, and transfer them over to the new one. Yes, you can download magazines on the nook color.

You should be able to convert the non-DRM books with a PC app called Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) to whatever format your e-reader software uses.

I believe as long as the ebooks are epub, you should be able to side load them to your nook or side load them to an sd card. I have done that with my Sony, Kobo & Smashwords ebooks. I used to have a Sony ereader, and when I switched to nook, I downloaded the Sony ebooks to my computer, hooked up my nook to the computer, and dragged the ebook files to an SD card that I had loaded on my nook. Same with my Kobo & Smashword ebooks. Another option would be to see if there is a BooksAMillion app in the google play store. You could load the app on your nook, sign in to your BooksAMillion account on the app, and your library will show up within the app. I also just went to the BooksAMillion website and it appears that they used to sell Nook devices on their site, so I'm sure that would indicate it is compatible. Hope these suggestions are helpful and you can always visit a Barnes & Noble store Nook counter and the sales staff can assist you with any questions.

you don't. Nook doesn't support kindle books, just as Kindle doesn't support BN books.

It looks like Barnes and Noble created an application to download for that purpose, to read Nook books on Android tablets and smartphone. I'd suggest reading their FAQ page in regards to this before proceeding.

I don't buy books, I get them from my library, but it looks to me that the offers come from Barnes & Noble. Just wanted to say that, when my previous Nook was stolen and I bought and registered this one, all my books came back on it.

Hi I don't have a nook so I don't know but I thought I saw an answer to that . Go to questions and answers you might find what you are looking for.

If it has a USB port it should work. Does it have a USB port? When I looked at Nooks they didn't have USB ports (only mini USB). Hope this helps.
