Transferring ebooks from library

How do I transfer ebooks from the library to a Nook? I've signed into the library and added the books to my wishlist. It will let me download the books to my computer but how do I get them transferred onto the Nook? Do I have to use a USB stick?

    Your library's website should have a help page for this. I don't know if all libraries are the same, but Southampton library requires the use of Adobe Digital Editions to transfer their books onto a Nook. I've only done it once but I seem to remember it was pretty straightforward.
  • The library's website wasn't much good to me. It had all the information on how to download the books onto a computer, but nothing much about how to actually transfer them onto an e reader. After more googling I managed to get the Adobe Digital Editions installed. I got the books that I downloaded onto the computer onto that, but still no idea how to get them off the Adobe to the Nook.

    What model is the Nook?
  • Its the Nook simple touch Glow Light. I've got it connected up to the laptop with a USB cable. I went into the Adobe Digital Editions (again ) and clicked on the books, then dragged and dropped them onto the word 'Nook' on the menu at the side. I found the instructions on http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/editorial/help/eBooks.jsp
    everywhere else I looked just seemed to say how to get the books onto the computer.

    I take it you're sorted now then. :)
