Has anyone explained why it is "more secure" to do this? It's good that the loopholes are open, but if this supposed security measure can be circumvented by B&N's own apps or a script, it doesn't look like B&N is taking its own security very seriously.
In any event perhaps it's good that they took this move now, because isn't Nook's future totally up in the air? It may inspire some to stop buying, or to future-proof their libraries. Nook was supposed to be sold or spun off in early 2015, so there is not much time before that happens.
