For those of you who use calibre and nook or Kindle can I suggest a website:

http://www.authorgraph.com/

It's like a virtual book signing. The thing with ebooks is getting your favourite authors to dedicate them is a bit difficult, if you join authorgraph (it's free) you can then browse authors, find ones you love and leave them a note asking for a dedication.

If you have a kindle this can be delivered directly to it, or if you are on any other reader you can have your dedication sent via email. Go into Calibre, change the cover of the book to your dedication and you have a personalised eBook from your favourite authors!

This is one of my favourites from Sylvia Day



Of course, if you are clever you can add all the authorgraphs you collect as screensavers into the nook

I have read that with a Nook you can access books from your local library.

How does this work? Surely if you download them then you have them permanently, so it is not like borrowing from a public library. Bit confused about it all.

Please would some clever person explain it to me:o

When you 'borrow' an e-book from your library, it's only temporarily downloaded to your device, and when the loan period has been reached it will delete itself from your e-reader. Does that make sense?

Finally managed to get a library book downloaded onto my Nook (spent yesterday messing on my pc after the Adobe Digital download also updated my Firefox, which is horrible now!). Took a while to do, had to add the book twice to ADE as it would not authorise the Nook the first time.

I have just downloaded Calibre but cannot download the necessary plug-in from apprenticealf.
I have Adblock Plus enabled on Firefox so don't know if this stopped it.
I then tried using Chrome and it started to download before coming up with a warning message that this looked 'malicious' so I discarded it.

Has anyone else had this warning, or problems? All advice appreciated (non-techie speak please )

Also my font sizes on this site have gone smaller on the threads since my Firefox update?

depends on which one you've ordered - the Glowlight version (£69ish) is back lit, the £29 one isn't & you will need a clip-on or otherwise light to read in the dark with that one.

Quick question the product info on most places mentions 2gb memory but on both mine and OH's nook we only have 250mb ish each. Am I missing something or is it that it will take up to 2gb memory??

Any help appreciated

It's the new 2Gb The actual memory free is 250Mb for user books, and 850Mb for B&N books, and the rest is used by the system.
You can repartition it, but it isn't as easy as rooting it. I have switched them over and now have 850Mb for my books and the rest for apps etc.

As to lights, if you would need a torch/light to read a REAL paper book then you will need a torch/light to read the £29 nook/kindle/kobo etc. Unless you buy the backlit versions.

I had a Kaspersky warning. However if you read down the page it mentions this and tells you why. And gives a link for you to check for further info. Then you decide if you want to take the chance or not.
