Comments.Text: When you say "edit an ePub file **in** NOOK", are you asking if you can edit a file while it's still on your NOOK, or is the file on your computer? Does the ebook have DRM applied? Is this a book that you're creating yourself? What sort of editing are you doing to the file? Are you trying to edit the text of the book, or the style sheet, or the images?

Comments.Text: I don't know how you're applying DRM, but that's not important. If you can apply it, you can remove it, and Sigil can edit the ePub. NOOKs read compliant ePubs. Sigil produces compliant ePubs. Beyond that, I'm not sure what your actual question is. Did you try editing an ePub in Sigil and it didn't work on your NOOK? Was there an error or was your book rendered incorrectly?

Comments.Text: @Arunabh so it seems that the problem is in adding DRM to your book. How do you add it? I never tried it (my ebooks are DRM-free), but looking at this old question https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-possible-ways-to-add-DRM-Protection-to-an-ePub-file it seems that you have to interact with Adobe products and pay a lot of money.

  Can I use Sigil to edit the text of the ePub file on NOOK of my computer of an book that I have created? I try editing an ePub in Sigil and it does not work on NOOK. If I create a simple ePub without DRM, is it readable on NOOK.
