    Your link is an .epub download. Should work fine on a Nook.
    How to Transfer EPUB Files to your Nook
    You will download books in epub format, either from our book store, or others. once you have downloaded said book to your computer, do the following.

    1. plug in your USB cable to the nook and then into your USB input on your computer. Most computers have a USB input on the front these days and laptops on the side or back.

    2. You will see windows recognize the device.

    3. Right-click on Start and go to Explore.

    4. Locate your ebook folder

    5. Find the My Documents folder on your nook

    6.Grab, drag and drop the ebook into the My Documents folder.

    7. Repeat as necessary

    8. Unplug nook from computer

    9. On the nook do a Search For New Content

    10. You new files should show up in the My Documents folder.

    if you turn off wifi the battery will last much longer - quick access to the wifi settings is via double tapping the top bar with the clock when in the home screen.

    It shows as in stock on argos on the nook page, but when you add it to your basket & go to checkout, it says out of stock for home delivery :(

    Well have given up !
    Spent hours yet again , finding books , downloaded three and no idea where they are !
    This has been the worst experience ever !
    I cant get free books unless I register a credit card , when I download them from somewhere else I have no idea where they have gone-not in the calibre library or the digital editions either .
    At least with a kindle its easy .
    I wanted this for the glowlight and its lighter to use due to not having very good hands.
    Obviously my old brain cannot get to grips with all this -its just too complicated for me !
    Will have to sell it !


    dont give up!
    ive lost a few too!
    you could try looking under 'downloads' on your pc.
    if you find them open up calibre and drag and drop.if i download from a freesite which i just discovered under your message - when it down loads instead of clicking on it - which i did then lost it!
    drag it to calibre.

    ive managed to download some free books to calibre and then to nook/kobo. but the books i bought on the kobo, as well as the 100 free books on there, show up on calibre but a message comes up that they are
    ' VIRTUAL ' books only and cannot be copied to nook - ive no idea !
    so i still have not managed to buy Dan Brown and share it to my mum.

    Hi all,
    Has anyone else had any problems with being charged for so called "free" books on their Nook?
    I have been charged £11.00 for an issue of a magazine, it definitely stated this issue was free on my nook! Yet a few days later I have been charged!
    I am quite tech savvy and there's no way my eyes deceived me, I wouldn't have downloaded it if there was a charge, I am broke and can not afford to throw that kind of money at magazines!
    I am now also concerned about downloading anything else, incredibly annoyed right now :( Anyone else had any problems?

    was it an issue or a subscription?
    which mag is it?

    It was an issue, definitely not a subscription, it's called Digital Photo Pro.
    I'm at work at the mo so can't check whether it's coming up as free anymore? I am currently waiting for barnes and noble to get back to me, I have asked for a refund, I am not overly hopeful though!

    all I see is a subscription and single issue
    the subscription offers a 14 day trial
