Nook and Etextbooks

[lumedi1913]

tjbus: Were you able to read your textbooks on your nook by stripping the DRM as recommended by thel8elvis? And if so, was it transfered to a ePub file and were you to highlight and make notes? I am currently utilizing eTextbooks that are protected, but I would like to start reading them on the NookColor. I would like to know if you got your textbooks to open on your NC.

Thanks for the book and I have not forgot about you. I've been working on the problem and I'm close to a easy solution for your textbooks.

Any updates from anyone ? Just curious.

Well got back on this issue today and still having issues with removing the DRM with the tools I'm using. I only have one book to test so I'm somewhat at a disadvantage. Not sure if this book is a good representative most current Adobe protected texbooks. Reason I say this is b/c with the tools I'm using, most people have complete sucess with removing the DRM. Wish I have 5-10 or so to work with. Will keep you all posted on my progress.

Has there been any progress on this? I have at least 1 e-textbook I'm trying to move to my NC. If you would like, I believe I have a 2nd download for it you could potentially use if you need another specimen!

Still working on it, I do have two more textbooks if you want to give those a try let me know. B&N does specifically say that their textbooks are not intended to be read on any sort of e reader and this is per an agreement with publishers. At this point the only hope is to get the drm stripped but apparently that is proving difficult as well. I hope with all the smart members on this board something can be figured out.

Ebook tools v3.1

Here are the tools I've found that I believe will help with your text books.
-Make sure you install the latest version of adobe digital edition.


Use this tutorial, start at step 2

Thanks to thel8elvis, for letting me know I needed to be the owner of the book and have the book fully working in adobe digital edition before attempting to remove DRM.

Ok I am going to give it a try, wish me luck and I will update you later.

Is there a link to the Scripts program that could be provided, my google searching is not coming up with anything. Of course I am not sure what I am looking for either, lol,

If I'm able to use NooKStudy, can I assume I have the latest version of ADE downloaded?

 

[ZRock]

Sorry for the double post... I followed the guide, got the book converted over, however all of the images have henceforth vanished! Is this just a side effect of the conversion process?

 

[rico2001]

Since I'm not an owner of any textbooks, I was never able to properly complete the process. Hopefully other can use the tools and shed more light on the outcome and their experience of removing the drm protection. I am glad to see the tools did work in some fashion. Back in my day we just had hard back text books.

So when I ripped my textbook, I'm only getting half pages. As if they're meant to be read split screen, and so I'm only getting the left half... Any ideas?

Shameless bump for hope?
