How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Erin, you'll have to side load them, but if someone sells without DRM, you can buy epub elsewhere and read it on your nook. A lot of the smaller publishers, and I think All Romance Ebooks/Omnilit sell without DRM, as well as many books on Fictionwise.

Edit to add to the library book discussion, when I mentioned Aldiko is legal to read library books on, and you can return it directly from there too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They didn't seem to have a lot of Agatha Christie. Nothing I'd heard of.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Side load?

Hey. New board.

Side load means to put it on your nook using the cord that connects to your computer, rather than loading it through a store or something on the nook itself. I'm not sure exactly the process with a nook color, but I think B&N actually supports it, so it might be in your manual. Maybe Google "put ePubs on Nook Color from other sources" or something.

I don't know your technical abilities or desire to fiddle, but the Nook Color is apparently not too hard to jailbreak, and works beautifully once you do so. If you went that route, you could install the Kindle app, if you prefer books from Amazon for some reason. Or basically any other eBook app you would want, for that matter.

Ah. Thanks, Gris. I'll try it when I'm not so flu-stupid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If you ever have Christie questions, let me know. I've read most of them.

Sorry about that-I didn't know what side load meant at first either. (also stupid tonight). Should have said.

Agatha Christie is out of copyright? Cool!

But I should hold off until I get a Kindle with more room on it...

Nook Colors has sim chips (or "mem-thingies" as I call them) that can store more data. I LURVE mine, esp. with the new update.

ETA: Huh. Gonna have to get me one soon. I'm at 77% full.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Also most of Andre Norton, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Lovecraft, Murray Leinster, Doc Smith, H. Beam Piper, a lot of Harry Harrison (but not A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah,) and Lovecraft.
