eBook guide (Nook)

PURCHASING eBOOKS FROM REDBERY BOOKS

(Either directly from your device or from any other computer)

1. On a Nook Color or on any computer, use a web browser (e.g., Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer) to go to the Redbery Books website (www.redberybooks.com) and log in to your account.
2. Choose your book either by using the general search box or by selecting a book directly and then selecting the “Google eBook” from the related editions; or by using “Search Google eBooks” in the right sidebar
3. Add the Google eBook to your cart and complete the purchase normally.  Your Google eBook is now available to you in your Google account from any device (except Kindle).

READING YOUR GOOGLE eBOOKS (Nook)

1. On your desktop or laptop computer, log in to the Redbery Books website (www.redberybooks.com) and click the “Read my Google eBooks” in the right sidebar.  (You will need to be logged in to your Google account and will be reminded to do so if you are not.)  All of your Google eBooks will appear and be available to you here whether they were purchased from Redbery Books or not.
2. Select the book that you want to read on your Nook and download the “Adobe Digital Editions” file to a location on your computer.  I suggest creating a Google eBooks folder for this purpose.
3. Double-click the downloaded file.  It will open in the Adobe Digital Editions program (see first time only instructions).  The Google eBook will appear on your “purchased” bookshelf under “all items” [Nook] or in the “my files” section of the library [Nook Color].
4. Plug your Nook into your computer using the USB cable.  Adobe Digital Editions will automatically detect your Nook and will appear under the bookshelves list.
5. Select the Google eBook that you want to read on your Nook and drag the icon (within Adobe Digital Editions) to the Nook icon.
6. Read!

1. When logging in to the Redbery Books website (www.redberybooks.com), you will need to create a Redbery Books account if you don’t already have one.
2. When purchasing the Google eBook from the Redbery Books website, you will need to create a Google account if you don’t already have one.  If you have gmail or any other Google service, you already have a Google account.  This is the account that you will use here.  You don’t need to create a separate account. 
3. During the checkout process, you will be asked to associate your Google account with Redbery Books, say yes!  (this can be undone at any time)
4. You will need to download and install Adobe Digital Editions (available from www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions) on a desktop or laptop computer that you want to associate with your Nook.  Do this on the desktop or laptop computer that you will use transfer books to your Nook and not on some other random computer
   1. Download the Adobe Digital Editions software and install following the instructions.
   2. When asked to sign in, click the “create an account” link above the sign in boxes to create an Adobe account if you don’t already have one.
