Or any app that supports pdfs and B&N's DRM. You can also sideload them to Nook for PC by going to "my stuff" and clicking the Add New Item button (this should work with new copies too).
That being said, I applaud not buying from B&N anymore. And I may see if I can get a refund on the one non-freebie PagePerfect book that I bought.

I just tried it in Adobe 3.0 (which is what I have installed before hunting down 2) with the old original downloaded book and that actually worked to open the file with the old cancelled card it was purchased on. I could always load the book in Nook for PC after entering that info, but it doesn't display properly. Oddly it displays the first 9 pages of the book perfectly. And the rest of the pages are blank except for the footer with the page number and alternating author/title. Then the "About the Authors" on page 226 appears just fine and the last 2 pages after that which are really just a solid color page and the back cover. I haven't tried it on a newly downloaded book with the new encryption.
*Edit: Actually the footers as well are completely gone starting with page 96, so it's totally blank pages until 226. And opening it in ADE turns out to be a pain, every time you open the book you need to re-enter the name and cc number, even if you close the book but not ADE you need to re-enter the info.
When I originally posted at Alf's about it, they said they haven't been able to remove the DRM from those PagePerfect books and it sounded like they really have tried in the past.
