Normally you should just be able to drag your old files into any given app/device, and enter the corresponding name/CC# when prompted, and that should be the end of it. Sucks that it seems like they've changed this, and I'm sorry you've been having problems with their new-and-disimproved method.
Well, at least it's still the easiest of the lot to strip.

For most people, it wouldn't be a problem. It's only been a problem for me because I don't like using my actual credit card number online and my credit card company lets me assign temporary account numbers for online purchases. I even tried extending the expiration date and limiting the amount that could be charged to a couple dollars. But B&N ate up the available limit. I'm guessing they charge and credit your account a $1.00 every so often to validate the card number. The charge must go against the limit, but the credit just goes to my regular account. Or something like that.
The only reason I tried was so I could sync the B&N ebooks between my mobile devices. Stripping the DRM and using another reading app is much easier.
