How to Load Ebooks From the Guttenberg Project On To a Nook

Load your Nook with thousands of free books from Project Gutenberg.

Project Gutenberg offers free public domain ebooks which you can download onto any number of mobile devices, including the iPad, the Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook devices. Public domain books are books in which the copyright protection has expired or the author voluntarily gave up any copyright claims. Because the books are no longer under copyright protection, they are available for free to the public.
