If you are not aware of this development and want to read up on it, you can read about it ad nauseum here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=246519.

You can still download the ebooks, just not directly through the browser (which was very convenient). If you have a PC or Android app you can get them that way, and even files that are downloaded via the Android app are Alf-able -- or, at least, they were the last time I checked.

Also, if you get the GreaseMonkey script (mentioned in that thread, I believe) you can still download through the browser.

I think that B&N's decision ranks somewhere between foolish and arrogant, but it can be alleviated.
