Guess I'll have to figure out another way, unless someone can help me find the download file. The book itself is written very clearly and is very thorough, even explaining how to use Calibre in chapter 19 to convert other e-book formats to epub format, for use on the nook, which was very straightforward. All in all, the book is very good, I was just disappointed that what I really wanted, to root my nook without voiding the warrenty, led... Read more
