How do I transfer and read Adobe DRM ePub and PDF files?

Step 1: Authorizing your NOOK GlowLight Plus


To gain authorized access to content protected with Adobe DRM on your NOOK, you
will need your existing Adobe ID associated with the protected content or to obtain a
free Adobe ID from Adobe. This is a one-time setup for each Adobe ID. To create a
free Adobe ID, visit: https://accounts.adobe.com

Once you have your Adobe ID, enter it directly on your NOOK GlowLight Plus:
1. From a Home screen, tap Settings and page to the 2nd screen.
2. Under ACCOUNT & PROFILE, tap on Adobe DRM Settings.
3. Tap on Add Adobe ID and enter the email address and password for your Adobe
ID.
4. Press OK.

Step 2: Transferring Adobe DRM protected ePub and PDF files

After authorizing your NOOK, you can transfer your ePub and PDF files. Note: To
transfer files from a Mac, you must first install the Android File Transfer application on
your computer. Once this application is installed, your NOOK will be recognized by
your Mac and you can use Android File Transfer to transfer the files from your
computer. To get the most recent version of Android File Transfer, please visit
https://www.android.com/filetransfer

1. Connect your NOOK GlowLight Plus to your computer with the micro-USB cable.
2. Your NOOK GlowLight Plus will appear on your PC as a removable drive.
3. Locate on your computer the ePub or PDF file to transfer. For eBooks you
downloaded from Adobe Digital Editions or 3M Cloud Library desktop application, your
eBooks will usually be located in the folder My Digital Editions under Documents.
Tip: From your Adobe Digital Edition Library, right-click a book cover and click on
Show File in Explorer (Windows) or Show File in Finder (Mac).
4. Copy the file to your NOOK GlowLight Plus into the sub-folder My Files.
5. On your NOOK GlowLight Plus, go to Library, select My Files and open the file
newly transferred.

How do I find eBooks I just transferred from my computer?


On your NOOK GlowLight Plus, open Library and select My Files in the Filter. All your
side-loaded files will appear.

Will I see a newly transferred eBook in the New & Recent widget on Home?
When you side-load an ePub or PDF file, it will be first accessible from the Library.
Then, when you open it once, it will appear in the New & Recent widget on Home.

Can I see the NOOK GlowLight Plus from the Adobe® Digital Editions desktop
application?
You do not need Adobe® Digital Editions to transfer an ePub or PDF file to your
device. You can directly copy & paste or drag & drop the file from the folder My
Digital Editions in your file explorer (or Finder on Mac) on your computer.

The NOOK GlowLight Plus will not be recognized by Adobe Digital Editions. Your
device has built-in support for Adobe DRM.
