Is it possible to edit the displayed names of the books on the nook? For example, R.A. Salvatore's series all say Forgotten Realms instead of the actual book title.

Is there a way to edit this?

No need to link when I have already provided a superior option.

NOOKbooks are DRM'd though, aren't they?

I have no idea what a 'NOOKbook' is.

Any ebook file I have come across I could edit with that.

You will need something to break the DRM if that doesn't do it, perhaps Cao's silly program.

Sorry, it's just what B&N calls there ebooks now. For some reason I've started saying it too.

Hm, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

eBooks bought through B&N might or might not have DRM. Last I read about it, and it's been a while, it's hit or miss.

It wants to accommodate those not clever enough to use their software.

Hey Yoss, Stanza won't open most of my ebooks, and most of the ones it does come up as gibberish. Is this DRM, or am I doing something wrong? (which is a very good possibility)

I have to assume it is the DRM.

I use Stanza to open ebooks in multiple formats, word documents, PDFs, microsoft lit files, etc. I haven't found anything it couldn't open.

I don't really know anything about DRM, I haven't tried to open anything I bought from them I've only used it on other files.
