Preparing for eBooks
        using an eReader

 This presentation was prepared using a Nook eReader and a
 Windows XP computer. Most information in it should apply to
other eReaders and computer operating systems, though some
                      details may vary.
Before downloading eBooks,
make sure you have plugged in
your eReader to the computer
you are using for the downloads
so that you have gone through
the registration process for your
eReader.



Using the Quick Start Guide on
the digital downloads page,
proceed to Step 1 – Download
and install free software. (You
only need to go through this
process once.)
Click on the “To download and
install Adobe Digital Editions, click
here” link to begin the installation
process.
The link will take you to the
Adobe Digital Editions page. Click
on “Download now” in the Next
Steps section at the right side of
the page.
Choose the installer for your
 computer’s operating system.




Mac Users: The next several slides illustrate the process of installing Adobe Digital Editions in Windows. For
detailed instructions on how to install the software on a Macintosh computer, please visit
http://help.overdrive.com/article/0331/
Choose “Save as” to save the
installer file in a location where
you will be able to easily get to it,
such as the Desktop. Find the
installer or setup file and run the
installer.
Accept the License Agreement to
continue installation.
The installer will ask you what
options you want. Be sure to
choose at least one shortcut so
you can easily open the software
when you need to.

It is especially important that you
leave the checkmark in the box
that says “Associate .acsm and
.epub file types”.
The installer will ask you where
you want the software installed.
Accept the default location and
click “Install”.
If you have an older version of
Adobe Digital Editions installed on
your computer, you’ll be asked
whether you want to migrate
books from the older version to
the new version, or skip this step.
If you have an older version of
Adobe Digital Editions, you’ll also
be asked if you want to remove
the old version; OverDrive
recommends that you remove it.
The first time you open Adobe
Digital Editions on your computer,
you should be prompted to
authorize your computer with an
Adobe ID. (If you aren't prompted
to authorize ADE the first time
you open it, you can go to Help >
Authorize Computer.)

You will have to read through the
instructions and decide if you
want to authorize the computer
you are using for different aspects
of the Adobe Digital Editions. If
you don’t already have an Adobe
ID, you’ll want to first get one by
clicking on the link and
completing a short registration
form to take full advantage of the
options available.

After completing the information,
click “Authorize.”
Now that Adobe Digital Editions
has been registered on your
computer, go back to the Digital
Media Home on the libraries’
website to select your book(s).
You can search specific titles or
genres to find eBooks. Each book
will have an option to either put it
on eReserve (if all copies are
already in use – you will then be
notified when it is available) or
add it to your eCart for immediate
access.
Clicking on “Add to eCart” will
take you to your cart, listing what
books you have chosen. You have
the option to continue looking for
more books or to check out.
In order to check out, you will
have to enter your library card
number (all 14 digits, no spaces).
After entering your library card,
you will be asked to confirm the
check out before continuing. You
are able to change the lending
period, if desired, before clicking
on the “Confirm check out”
button.
After confirming the check out,
you will be shown a list of the
books that are currently available.
It will give the check out date and
when your use of the book will
expire. Click “Download” to get
the book to your computer.
Make sure the file is set to open
with Adobe Digital Editions and
then click “Ok” to continue with
the download.
Your downloaded book will
appear in the Adobe Digital
Editions.

Click on “Library” to switch to
Library View.
Plug your eReader into the
computer to transfer the book
from your computer.
If the eReader is plugged in
properly, it will show in your list
under “Devices.”

To move the eBook from the
computer to the eReader, click on
the book cover in the right
column. Hold it and drag it over
the eReader icon under
“Bookshelves,” letting go of the
file when it is above the icon with
a small plus sign indicating that it
is okay to drop the item.

This will automatically authorize
your eReader with your Adobe ID.
Be sure to “Safely Remove” your
eReader before unplugging it
from the computer!
