Need help, friends: need instructions for getting CC file onto Nook TABLET…and others
The Nook is one thing, and we’ve had no problems with that. The Nook Tablet seems to be something else. One thing that apparently works is buying the .epub only, directly onto the tablet—but buying the .zip file to get the other formats and unzipping on the computer… apparently presents special problems re a computer delivering a file to that tablet.
1) getting a ‘mini’ file. These are .zip files and need to be unzipped: to do this– Step one: download to a computer. Step two: click on the file. [Your computer likely has an unzip program already, and it will respond by breaking open the .zip file and revealing files in all our formats...mobi,.epub, and .pdf. If you do not have an 'unzip utility' on your computer, look at winzip.com and jzip.com, and download a free utility. Once it is on your computer, it will work whenever you click on a .zip file.]
2) getting a file onto a device:
A) To read via your computer: choose .pdf. Click on the file. Your computer should have an Adobe pdf reader that responds to this and opens the file. If it doesn’t, download this free reader: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.... other options: calibre.com (uses .epub); and the Kindle for PC download from Amazon (uses .mobi) (both are free).
B)Kindle. Open the zip on your computer as above to get the .mobi file. Plug the Kindle’s USB into your computer. Your computer will find the device as a drive: open your My Computer’ screen and just drag the .mobi file onto your Kindle and drop. It will now open like any other book.
D) C) Nook. Choose .epub. AND?
E) iPhone >go here for instruction, with screenshots: Adding DRM-Free books to your iPad or iPhone?

F) Nook Tablet: 3 steps: you want the .epub file, and this method gets the color covers.
1. Download and install Calibre from http://calibre-ebook.com/
2. Start the program, then add the .epub file you downloaded from Closed Circle into Calibre by using the drop down menu on the “Add Books” icon.
3. Plug your Nook into a USB port on your computer using the USB cable that came with the device. Calibre will recognize the Nook, and add a button in the tool bar labeled “Device”. Then you can transfer by clicking on the drop down arrow on the “Device” icon.
G) Android device.
If anything here is ‘the same as’ just say that.
Your help much appreciated.
