Most library book providers use Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to manage and read DRM-protected ebooks.

If you're wondering how to read borrowed library books on your Nook, this guide will show you how to transfer library books to Nook seamlessly.

1. How to Download Your Library Books via ADE
To transfer library books to your Nook, you must first download them via Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). One option is to connect your eReader to your computer via USB and send the EPUB files using ADE directly. Alternatively, you can remove DRM from your library books, allowing you to fully utilize the content as you see fit.
Step 1Install and authorize Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) on your computer.
Step 2Download an EPUB or PDF ebook to ADE from your library's digital collection.
To download DRM-protected EPUB files from Libby, go to your online loaned shelf, find the desired book, select "Read With", choose "Other Options", and then select "EPUB" or 'PDF'. This will download the EPUB or PDF book as a .acsm file. Finally, use Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to open the .acsm file and initiate the downloading process.
And the downloaded ebooks should open automatically in ADE.
