You can install OverDrive Media Console (OMC) from the NOOK store on a NOOK Color, Tablet, HD, or HD. These NOOK devices are based on Android, so you can use our Android instructions to borrow and enjoy titles using OMC. Please use this article for those Android based NOOKs.

The guide below is for NOOK ereaders other than the Color, Tablet, HD, and HD.

What you need

  • The USB cable for your NOOK
  • Adobe Digital Editions for Windows or Mac
  • A library card
