The problem has nothing to do with ADE on your PC. The problem is causes by incorrect authorization information in the Adobe folders on your Nook.

- As you have re-installed ADE on your PC make sure you did authorize your PC. In ADE use CTRL-SHIFT-I to check your authorization information.

- Delete the 2 Adobe folders on the Nook

- Eject and disconnect your Nook from your PC

- Start ADE on you PC.

- Connect the Nook to your PC again.

- ADE will ask you to authorize the Nook.

sweet!!! thank you!
edit: it worked!!

"ERROR DIALOG: user not activated."

any other nook users out there seeing this come up out of nowhere? i have tried twice to borrow e books from the library, and this is what i get when i try to open them. any suggestions?? there was an update recently, but i doubt that would have made it so that i can't use the library anymore...

There is my kind of e-reader! Push the concept, it is a good one!

I made the mistake of taking a nap the other day and got woken by a telemarketer from my mobile phone provider wanting to sell me an iPad.
I vaguely recall saying yes to something. Let's see how this pans out...

I have both an older Kindle and an IPad but prefer the Kindle for lengthy reading. The screen is much easier on the eyes and you can read it in bright light without a problem.

my mom is talking about getting me a kindle or one of the new smaller ipads for xmas. we'll see.
i have limited gadgets. macbook & regular mobile phone (not an iphone or smartphone). so, it'd be nice to have a e-reader.

I have my kindle on my iPad so eliminating one bit of equipment.

I prefer nookie though!

Anyone looking at the new Kindles? I still carry a dedicated e-reader on the boat/plane, and it's a lot nicer to read outside, but I'm feeling gadget heavy now - phone, laptop, tablet, kindle, wi-fi puck, associated cables & chargers...

Wow - thanks so much for this thread. My mom is wanting to look into a reader and you all have supplied so many answers! {#Jump}

There is supposedly a new one coming out, can't remember who, but it's supposed to be better than the Kindle.

I am really learning to love my kindle fire. I just uploaded my employment history pdf so that it is easily accessible. In the past I would always be carrying that wrinkled sheet of paper with me, this way I can just access my kindle.

Can you change the view settings on the iPad to be whatever colors you want? ie, black text on white?

It has three different "modes" - black on white, grey on sepia, and white on black.

so we went and looked at the nook simple touch last night. i love it. it's exactly what i want. nothing fancy...i have an i phone for apps and internet access when i am away from home. i love the way this device can synch with my public library system, and i can borrow ebooks for free without having to drive down town and try to find parking where there is none....(okc downtown library is beautiful and wonderful, but has NO PARKING LOT OR GARAGE!)
so....decision made.

The kindle has a lot of font options and different type and background colors.

The Kindle Fire does - the standard Kindle does not.

Remember they make several different models the Fire is the only one that offers color.
