hey everyone it's Michael here with good
evader comm and today I'm going to give
you a tutorial on how to load ebooks on
the new Barnes & Noble Nook low light
plus so this C reader is fairly new and
it is waterproof little do people know
that you don't have to just buy ebooks
from the shop on the Barnes & Noble
ebook store but you can also download
ebooks from the internet but they have
to be DRM free because currently the
Nook is incompatible with Adobe Digital
Editions which really means that you
can't borrow ebooks from the library and
give your epub or PDF format and Adobe
Digital Editions will not recognize the
note as a device and it's a similar to
how it won't register the Kindle as a
device instead of books are just
automatically sent to the Kindle your
options are few and far between
I like Dropbox in terms of being able to
send ebooks and have your e-reader xsm
and the Nook does have a hidden web
browser how long it's available is
determinate on when Barnes and Ola
patches it so here's the instructions on
how to access the web browser so you
basically open up any ebook on the
nucleoli plus what you want to do is you
won't want to long press on a specific
keyword and then there's a little share
icon that appears you want to click
share with Facebook and underneath the
login button is a small button it says
Help Center once you click help center a
browser pops up and then you can access
Dropbox
so Dropbox you probably are all familiar
with this by now if not just it's cloud
storage if you have ebooks on your
computer you can just simply register an
account took me like three minutes or so
and click upload
you can click upload
and you can see that it's fully uploaded
already cuz ebooks are really small
click done all you do is just enter the
Dropbox address and your internet
browser on the nucleoli plus and then
just log in with your credentials any
book that you download will just get
automatically downloaded to your device
make sure when you download a book and
you go to your library and the top left
hand corner is a sync button so you want
to click that sync button and then
they'll sink any new content that you
just downloaded to your library so it
appears so calibre is a free download I
really like this program because it
gives you tremendous flexibility in
being able to really just edit books get
a lot of stuff going on so here we have
the hydrogen Sonata by Iain M banks the
nuke is registered by calibre so what is
calibre do well on a basic level it
allows you to swap in cover art to
change the name of the e-book to change
the author name of the e-book if it's
part of a series in many cases why this
is important is because if you download
e-books from the darkest corners of the
web or just download them as you google
them often the title name might be mixed
with like the author's name and the
author's name maybe the e-book uploaders
name and you know your e-reader could
quickly become cluttered if not all this
data is correct so this will allow you
to change data and then save it you can
also if your book doesn't have this sort
of metadata attached to it
you can download it and downloading is
based on the author's name and book name
so title hydrogen Sonata author emm Bank
so there's different metadata depending
on who you're downloading it from so
let's check Google's information here
what it's doing is it's fetching a cover
art from all these different sites so
let's just choose the one from Amazon
now you can see that the reigning bumped
up to four stars and it has a special
google ISBN as well as the description
has changed because descriptions books
sometimes change depending on bookseller
the bookseller and we're gonna click OK
now because we have the nuke already
associated with our computer here all I
did was just simply plugging in via USB
downloaded the most recent version of
calibre it automatically detected the
note if I have a book here I can simply
just click send to device and then send
to main memory fast process little
checkmark here it's done
so this is just a brief overview of
calibre now one of the things that I
really like about calibre is being able
to convert ebooks from one format to
another so I have Norah what Nora
Roberts the witness now you can see this
book is in mobi which is a Kindle format
so you can see that this is a kindle
format this is incompatible with the
Nook but if you're say downloading a
sample or are you downloading a review
copy and it's in mobi it's like okay
well the no can read Moby what do i do
well calibre allows you to change the
eBook format from one format to another
so I'm just clicking on convert ebooks
convert ebooks individually
now the input format is mobi and outport
format is automatically epub but you can
change it to whatever you want there's a
lot of options here but I suggest a pub
with the Nook because that's the
preferred format now you don't get
daunted by all of this type of stuff
here this is mainly designed for people
that are making their own ebooks and say
you're writing an e-book in Microsoft
Word and you want to optimize it for any
reader this is sort of why you would use
these deeper features here but when
you're just converting ebooks from one
format to another you're just focused on
this screen here so I'm just gonna click
OK now converting ebooks takes a few
seconds depending on your computer now
you can see that is with the ePub format
here and calibre has a built in ebook
reading app here so you could just like
verify that okrs on a six inch screen
everything's gonna be okay and then I
can just simply send us again to my
device
and there we go so it just sent the ePub
version and not the mobi version so this
is a quick overview of how it sent
ebooks as well as some of the
limitations with Adobe Digital Editions
I'm borrowing external library of course
there's always good old Windows Explorer
offers the least amount of flexibility
but do you can just simply just
copy-paste ebooks into your main memory
here alternatively you can put them in
my files or more documents if you want
them to show up in particular shelves
but I just copy everything to like the
main memory this is where calibre has
been copying them as well so if you copy
them here you're not going to end the
world so there's a few different methods
hopefully this helped you if you have
any questions or concerns drop a comment

name is michael and everybody take care
