title_body: Can Nook Read Kobo Books and Vise Versa?
upvoted_answer: Both NOOK and Kobo have a variety of book formats in common, such EPUB and Adobe PDF. Kobo can use Adobe Digital Editions, but Barnes and Noble states, &quot;NOOK Books from Barnes &amp; Noble cannot be read on your Kobo eReader.&quot; However, B&amp;N states the converse works, i.e., transferring ebooks from Kobo to NOOK. It is possible to read DRM NOOK books on Kobo by the legally-questionable removal of DRM.
  That said, for books without DRM, such as the many public-domain offerings on Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, and publishers of copyright-protected, but not DRM locked, ebooks, such as Baen Books, texts can be transferred between devices using software such as the excellent Calibre application.
  Using Calibre or other tool, it's also possible to change the format of a book, such as Kindle's MOBI to NOOK and Kobo EPUB, or vice-versa. (Note that PDF is somewhat a dead-end: while it is easy to convert documents to PDF, going from PDF to another format is not always successful.)
