Yes, it's good to know different ways of doing things. I had trouble a while back with both Nook for PC and the Tampermonkey script. Neither seemed to be able to connect with BN. I thought, "Uh-oh, they're cutting us off completely." But then I was able to get through with Nookstudy. These days I just pick up freebies from them for the sole purpose of seeing if I can still unlock them.

I haven't had one turn up that wasn't labeled PagePerfect. You can check on a book's page by clicking the question mark next to "Available on NOOK devices and apps". If it lists NOOK eReaders and NOOK for PC/Mac, then it should be an epub. Of course, the best way to avoid them is to avoid B&N. :P

Most of the big bookstores have a format that's intended for use in cases where a book can't sensibly be converted into a reflowable format. Amazon call it "Print Replica", for example.

Good bye Barnes & Noble. |

Let's get back to the important question: where are we to buy eBooks these days? Easy deDRM is a must... ie if the store uses Adobe, forget about it.

Google Books uses Adobe and the drm hasn't changed. It's only B&N because they didn't have standard Adobe to start with.

My point is that there are really no serious impediments to buying ebooks from any of the major stores and it's still just personal preference about which things make you mad. Even with the most recent changes, I still think that Barnes & Noble is the easiest experience overall. |
