How do I download eBooks to my NOOK GlowLight Plus?

 

There are 2 steps for downloading an eBook from OverDrive to your NOOK GlowLight Plus:

Once you have your Adobe ID, enter it directly on your NOOK GlowLight Plus:

Step 2Transferring EPUB eBooks
After authorizing your NOOK, you can download EPUB eBooks from our OverDrive catalog and transfer them to your NOOK. Note: To transfer files from a Mac, you must first install the Android File Transfer application on your computer. Once this application is installed, your NOOK will be recognized by your Mac and you can use Android File Transfer to transfer the files from your computer.
