doesn't do that. (I looked at the other eReaders on the market, but ultimately decided to go with something that had a major retailer behind it.) It takes me a while to do anything new. I found a great sewing pattern for outdoor chair covers. I have the pattern. I bought the material. I even have thread. I just have to set aside some time to do the sewing. Who knows when I'll get to it? It's one of my quirks.
It took me a while to get a library card. (The county libraries check out eBooks, and I had never gotten around to getting a county library card.) Then I sat on that for a while. I only got around to checking out my first eBooks on Tuesday. On Wednesday, while waiting for my car's routine service, I pulled out my nook to dive into that library book.
"User not authorized."
Oh great! Of course, there was nothing I could do about it then. (I had other books loaded on the nook, so I wasn't stuck watching CNN.) I had to wait until I could get back home to my computer.
I love the Internet. All I had to do was search "authorize nook adobe" and I found my answer. It was pretty simple, too, but I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.
Am I the only one with a nook? Anyone else out there checking out eBooks from the library? Any recommendations?
Oh my...that's really good to know. Actually, I had just been considering borrowing books from the library for my Nook. I hope I don't have any problems.
ReplyDeleteSo far..*knock on wood* This Nook has been fine. I didn't have one about a month after they came out. Something happened one day...it wouldn't even load anything for me. I took it back to B&N and found it's something occurring, so I was given a newer version of the Nook. I was so disappointed it happened, but I was thankful that they are such a good company that they just switched it up for me.
I had no idea that libraries lent out ebooks. That's kinda cool.
ReplyDeleteWill I sound like an old person if I say I'm always authorized to open my cardboard and paper books? No e-reader yet. I can't say never, but I want to wait a while to see how technology change and everything plays out. Meanwhile, I'm cramming my shelves with books.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an eReader yet. I've been looking at getting a Kindle though. My significant other, who is a computer geek, wants to get a Nook but not as an eReader. He wants to turn the device into something else. The only thing I could turn my eReader into would be a paper weight.
ReplyDeleteMy library doesn't lend eBooks and I honestly didn't know any did. That's really great though.
Glad you found a simple solution to the problem...
