So I just purchased a title in PDF with DRM...and frankly, I'm pissed! DEfault reader still suck at reading pdf format and DRM just adds salt to the wound...I can't move the file and read it on my other devices.
Is there alternative solution to de-DRM Nooks pdfs other than Python that some has been using? I tried but have no success on unlocking a legit book I paid for.
Need to hone up your google-fu

You link only removed locked permissions to print, edit, etc not DRM itself.
I'm tried ePUBee PDF DRM Removal and still getting the same "error decrypting book session key" message, same as Python.

I have an issue with the PDF viewer. When you write on it with the pen, even with the smallest pen settings, it writes WAY to large. When you zoom into a specific paragraph and annotate it, it looks like a child's marker did the annotating.
Has anyone been able to use the native E-reader (which does not have the issue) to work on PDF's? Or any other solution?
The pen size in PDF Viewer is a known issue.
Never thought about converting into ePUB for annotation in Reader... I use Calibre to convert PDFs to epub on my desktop. For me the extra conversion steps would not be very convenient... Maybe a long pdf or reference... But not the "everyday pdf in a email for work" type doc. Worth a shot though.
That is true, just trying to find a reason to keep the flyer. I love most things about it, but I bought it specifically for pdf annotating.
I'm on the same boat.
If you check forum.xda-developers.showthread.php?t=1097375&page=2 Gathering uploaded some samples. These open fine in Foxit for me, and I can modify those annotations.
Using the app is a different story though. Unless Foxit/HTC update the app I think all you can do is wait.
Alright Nookers, I got one for you all and haven't been able to find exactly what I needed.
I have a project coming up that is going to require a lot of signatures from people when I'm onsite. I would like to keep all this digital on the Nook rather than printing things out. Seems simple enough, and I can find several application that do this, but not to the extent that I would like.
This document is going to be in .doc format. What I have found with the digital signature applications is that they seem to only handle PDF. I've tried looking for Office Applications that allow ink write ups on the document, but haven't found anything yet (haven't paid for D2GO, Quickoffice doesn't have it as far as I've found).
I've thought of a few solutions and maybe you all can help out.
1) After I enter in the necessary information to the document, convert to PDF and use something like SIGNature e-sign. What would be good conversion tools to do such (preferrably ones that don't require to be online doing this).
2) An office app that allows ink mark ups, allowing them to sign.
3) A drawing app that allows someone to sign, then I can do a select all, copy over to the document and resize if necessary.
I'm probably making this way too hard on myself. I'd rather not have to re-create this other persons document as a text enter PDF if I can. Suggestions?

Why not just find a art program that lets you save the image? When I had to submit paperwork with digitalized signatures the easiest way was to capture the signitures as images and then put the images into the .doc. Though this method will require the signatories to trust you with their signature on a blank page.
The reason that the programs you find use pdf is that .doc is an editable format so it's similar to the problem of the option i mention. That's why those programs use pdfs when can be locked from editing.
I still have my wi-fi off and probably will until after holidays when I can concentrate on how to either block or root my NT. That said I am wondering about public library books and update 1.41. If someone does get stuck with that and/or are one of the ones that buy a new NT and it is already installed am I correct this is going to stop the use of public library ebooks or will they still work off our microSD card?
I have one under the tree and want to know that also. What about other sources of books. My Simple Touch can get those. Can we put e-books on the sd card from our computer and will the updated nook tablet read the PDFs?
It will read pdfs, however, it sucks. It does not do text reflow or work well with images. Ive converted a couple of pdfs to ebooks using calibre, and the experience improved, but it wasnt like reading a normal ebook. Frankly, i think the best device to view pdfs is an ipad. Btw i also have an asus transformer and im not impressed by its pdf capabilities either. Just my $0.02
** just got the adobe pdf reader update with text reflow. Works well on just text, but the pdf im viewing ( a byte of python) has a grey color behind the code that doesn tdisplay right with text reflow selected. Its either above or below the actual text. (***massive pet peeve)

A devices ability to do anything with any file type is based on the app you are using, not the device itself (unless speaking from a form-factor POV). You should have noted that you are talking about the stock PDF reader on the NT, and try not to mis-inform people. I have a Transformer as well, with EZ PDF Reader on it, and it's great.
miniblue: Side-load EZ PDF Reader from the market. Best PDF app I've ever seen for Android.
I used multiple pdf apps and none of them worked right for ME.
Adobe
Quick office
Documents to go pdf to go
Aldiko
Reader
I would continue to list them but i just got the ota update pushed to my device. So sorry if you felt that i was spreading FUD.
-cheers
The questions still remains does an NT updated to 1.41 work with public library ebooks?

Unless you end up with 1.41, then you cant side load.
But back to the topic, i don't think it would effect library use, or that would be cutting their own throat as that would effect a large number of customers.
Mine is on 1.41 and i may try our local library next week just to see. I am able to still load free format PDF and ePub files that are on my SD card. Thankfully i installed ezPDF before the update.

Please let me know you you make out with this if you do try it. Hubby bought me this for more than just the ability to read library books but still that is important to me. Thank you for your input.
I searched for a spot to post this. I can post pdf to epub in calibre but can't seem to do mobi or doc to epub. I may be doing something wrong. All my magazines are in pdf if it was my choice id make everything epub.
I know that Calibre does convert .mobi to epub because most of the books I had were .mobi and I converted them -- for the most part. There were a few that gave me issues, but I just found different copies for those.
You could save your .doc files as .rtf or something else so that Calibre will read the source format.
would the 'RTF' ( rich text file ? ) keep the magazines' layout and pics ?

Are you sure the mobi files are DRM-free? I ran into this a few times when trying to convert DRM'ed mobi files from Fictionwise (back in the day when they sold anything besides vampire romance books)... There are pretty easily available python scripts to remove the DRM from mobi files, and plenty of guides available on line for deDRM'ing them. If I recall, you DO need to have a valid MobiPocket Reader device ID for the deDRM scripts to work...

You can save a doc file as an epub file in Libre Office or Open Office using a small plugin. I believe it's name is doc2epub, but not 100% sure, as I am not at my computer right now.

why not just convert doc to pdf? Then pdf to epub! :]
Correct me if I am wrong but the Nook can read PDFs pretty well can't it? Why do you need to convert to epub?
I personally use calibre but it doesn't work as well as one would like for anything with layout constrictions. Hence why I would suggest using PDF.
Even with a screen as large as the NT's reading a PDF can be a pain. You have two choices see the whole page and barely readable text or get readable text and a small fraction of page.
Epub fixes that with adjustable text size and layouts.

Morning all,
I need some help to resolve 2 questions.
1. How can i change the configuration to unlock the phone, not only by using "Power" button, but also "Home" button?
2. How can i transfer .epub files into my Windows Phone?
All i can find in XDA involved Android, or Windows Mobile, but not Windows Phone.
So any help is highly appreciated.
Don't think you can change the button function without an unlocked device and some hacking wizardry but I found this about .epub docs
Flibusta provides downloadable texts in .fb2, .epub or .mobi formats. The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace is tiny compared to Google market, but I found one free ebook reader called Freda that is able to read .epub files. Buried down in the UI ofr Freda, there is a Website page that allows to paste an URL in the text box. The same page also embeds Internet Explorer. I figured that the text box shall be used to download .epub document to the device. However, pasting a url to an .epub file distributed by Flibusta did not work. I tried another ebook reader, called iSilo. It was a very usable and feature-rich program on my old Palm TT, but it could not open my .epub file either.
An inspection of the HTTP session between the browser and Flibusta allowed to pinpoint a problem. Flibusta issues two HTTP 302 redirects: one to insure that the .fb2 document is converted to .epub and the other to compresses the .epub document, if needed. The Internet Explorer used in Windows Phone 7 did not want to follow the redirects, but typing manually the url given in the last redirect in the Freda search box worked.

Thanks for the info about Flibusta and the redirects - I will check it out, and make sure it works with the next release of Freda. Actually, I am about to start beta-testing that release in the next days, so if you want to join the beta-testing team, just let me know ([email protected]).
Incidentally, the flibusta catalog is also available as an OPDS book source on Freda (just find the 'unhide source' menu, and unhide the source called 'flibusta'). That should give a better book browsing experience. That 'website source' interface is really just a workaround for the fact that Microsoft won't let me register a program (e.g. Freda) as the app to open .epub files - and I'd be the first to admit that it is a pretty ugly workaround.
