Thank you very much Ralph , that was easy instructions and easy to follow .
I now have a book to read on my nook .
Please could you tell me how to put some of my kindle books on to it if you don't mind .
I have the kindle app with my books on it on my desktop computer.
Thankyou again .

Do you have to register a card on Barnes and Noble even for free books please? thanks again

Tried to download a couple more and they wouldn't save or open -gave me a script error and a red box !?

how do you tell if it's a UK or USA nook? sorry if this has been asked before, the bottom right corner at the back of the packaging says uk.nook.com would that make it a UK version?

As explained earlier in this thread (post 628):

Download and install Calibre on your PC (if you haven't already got it):

http://calibre-ebook.com/download_windows

Then download the DeDRM 'tools_v6.05.zip' from here:

http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/e290f19f

Make sure you un-tick the box that says

"Use our download manager and get recommended downloads"

Then click on the smaller grey 'Download' box (not the large black 'Download Now' box) and you will get the tools with no virus warnings (the download manager that this host site is trying to include with the tools generates a virus warning).

'Unzip' the file - lots of freeware 'un-zippers' around like 7-zip if you haven't got one i.e:

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Then it's the 'DeDRM_calibre_plugin' folder that you need - just follow the instructions in the 'DeDRM_plugin_ReadMe' document.

You can then load the kindle book into Calibre and convert it to epub

Complicated - but it works.....

Hi,
I have downloaded the plugin and it seems to be installed

kenr

OR Root it, install the kindle app and it will download the books to your Nook directly.

I do usually just use a reader by keeping my thumb on the button and wonder if the touch screen would be something I would use. I may try out this Sony 505 first and decide from there.

I actually don't use the touch-screen facility that much on the Nook, to be honest, but it's nice to know that it's available:). Another point I forgot to mention is that I can read the Nook one-handed, using the side-buttons; I can't read the PRS300 one-handed (the later Sony models may make that possible). It's a minor point, but since the Nook is so light it feels odd to hold it in both hands.
But try out the Sony 505 first; I bought my PRS300 (secondhand) just to see if I could get used to the experience of reading on-screen for long periods.

I placed my order with Currys on 9th May and no joy. Bought from Argos and phoned Currys to cancel the order last week. One week later the order is not cancelled, Nook is not shipped and my money not refunded. I will never order anything from Currys again.

I have just managed to order a Nook from Argos this morning, with free next day delivery, this will make a great gift.
