November 3, 2011 Library news

       When I was practicing downloading e-books to my laptop, I repeated the steps too much and "corrupted" my account.  After a two week waiting period, Today I was able to download a book from the library and transfer it to the color nook. I got a non-fiction book on women of the wild west. I am going to read it on the Color Nook this week, then I will come back and review the book.
Today I removed the programs from my Laptop which I don't use. I also removed Adobe Digital Editions, then re-installed it from the tds.lib.overdrive.org website.
     As I was doing all this I did have a bit of a problem deleting expired books from the Nook. The instructions direct you to delete files while connect to the computer via cord.
I will report back here how it goes. I had two copies of one of the books called "The Smartest Woman I know". It was downloaded for practice by Dani K. at tds who was helping me on the phone with my laptop today.
     If and WHEN I am successful with the reading of a book on the Nook, then I am going to try downloading an audio book with overdrive software and listening to it via my MP3 player.
All part of a librarian's "homework". Plus it's true I wanted to learn how to use the nook because I may buy one  someday.
