How to Download Books on Nook Through Project Gutenberg

With more than 36,000 ebooks at Project Gutenberg, you're sure to find something to read on your Nook or Nook Color.

Once the copyright expires on a book, the book enters into the public domain. Because there is no copyright on public domain books, such books are free to publish and distribute. Project Gutenberg has compiled more than 36,000 public domain ebooks and is constantly adding more with the help of donations and volunteers. The Project Gutenberg ebooks are available in various formats compatible with a number of devices, including the Nook and Nook Color.
