Adobe Reader is only a reading facility for PDF documents. It will not open EPUB files, for those you’ll need to use Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), which is available to download for free on both Mac and Windows systems.

Yes, this is possible. To do so, use the OverDrive app for reading borrowed ebooks. Borrow the book, then go to the Bookshelf in the app and tap the ebook to start reading. Or, you can read books via the Chrome web browser, using OverDrive Read.

Question

Can I read epub books on my nook?

Community Answer

As long as it isn't DRM-protected, you can read an EPUB on your Nook. Hook your Nook up to your computer and drag the EPUB file to the "My Documents" folder on the Nook.
