How to Get Borders E-Books on a Nook

The Barnes & Noble Nook gives you two different ways to get e-books on the device. If you're purchasing books directly from Barnes & Noble, you can buy your books right on the e-book reader. If you purchase e-books from another store, such as Borders, you can transfer the downloaded files from your computer to your Nook. Borders e-books use the same ePub format as Barnes and Noble e-books, so those books are compatible with your reader. When you load a book directly onto your Nook without using the store, the process is called sideloading.
