Yes: "Let's see, we can't compete on price and selection so let's give up any advantage and just copy them."

Or do you not have an order number for copy 3, because you didn't make a purchase with that card? That you just changed the default data? Also, I take it none of the last 3 were downloaded using Nook for PC?

My current purchases downloaded by Nook for PC are unlocked using my CC data. I can't discuss here how I know that to be a fact, but it would be obvious to many here. I doubt that B&N would have singled you out for a different DRM process than what I must use to unlock my purchases.

The book was purchased with card#1. No purchase was made with card#3. I just added it and marked it as the default. All copies in this experiment were downloaded with Tampermonkey. I'm having similar results with new books downloaded with Nook for PC though.

When this thread started due to B&N pulling the download buttons, I downloaded my entire library with Nook for PC. They all unlock with cc#1's info. It was only after adding cc#3 on Sat (10/18) that the problem started.

I don't think B&N has singled me out. I think they are switching accounts over, and it's only hit some of us yet. Before my books unlocked exactly as yours do.

My current solution is to stop buying from B&N.
Yes, that's my solution too. Pulling the download buttons made me switch to just getting freebies. But now I'm not even doing that. I'm only continuing to fiddle with this because it would be nice to be able to get new "unlockable" copies of my previous purchases. Although the day is fast approaching when there won't be anymore nookbooks to worry about anyway.
