I am considering a ereader (nook) where I can read my ebooks downloaded from google-play books.

Only problem is when I download .epub from Google Play Store, I actually get an .acsm file, not .epub, and Google Help says I need Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) to convert.

I can probably do that with wine + ADE, but I don't think I can transfer it to nook as wine do not support USB (as far as my last experience and I haven't use wine for years).

Given this scenario, is there any other way to get Google e-books on my nook?

NB: I haven't bought my ereader yet, just exploring; but one of the criteria is to be able to read Google books in my ereader and do it within linux.

Any suggestion please?

For Linux you need to run ADE in Vine. On this page there is a pdf and a video that I made for my library on using ebooks via ADE for Linux users. FWIW, I had trouble getting ADE to detect ereaders on Linux ( ubuntu). Your mileage may vary. Good hunting!

Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) is necessary for you to read e-books that have Digital Rights Management (DRM) attached.

After installing ADE, you will be prompted to login with or to create an Adobe ID, but don't worry, it's free.
