So yesterday I bought 6 books from B&N with the usual plan to download them to my computer and manage them through Calibre as always. There was no download link on them, and none on any of the other books in my library. So I contacted customer support and this is what they said:
The ability to download from the NOOK® website and then sideload certain NOOK eBooks has been discontinued as part of a recent security update. Content that has previously been downloaded can continue to be sideloaded to NOOK devices. Customers can continue to access all of their content through the NOOK Library® on any NOOK device or Free NOOK Reading App™ as they have always been able to do. Customers can also continue to sideload other supported file formats.
The way this company does business seems to be a deliberate attempt to drive away customers.
