software that supports nook downloads - is there any?

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

I purchased a pair of Nook 1st Editions over the holidays.  I like them!

I then tried to down load a book from my library only to discover that nook does 
not directly download e-books but must use a package that is installed on a PC. 
YEP! you guessed it it ONLY WORKS with WINDOWS or Mac systems.

Spoke with the folks at Barnes & Noble and they said to install Adobe Digital 
Editions software to fix the problem. When I tried that Adobe says my system is 
not supported... It also reports that my version of Firefox is old and suggests 
getting a free upgrade but that fails to install properly..

Has anyone been able to download a book from their public library to their nook? 
If so, please enlighten me as to how I should proceed.

Other ideas/alternatives appreciated.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04-3 LTS and it is up to date.

Thanks,
Jay
