I never changed anything in my account & so far have been able to future proof all of my older books & most of the new ones. I download a free book every few days just to make sure I have not been switched over. I have noticed, however, that all of the B&N "Free Friday" books have the new DRM. I also have sporadic "fails" with some of the free books listed on BookBub. I am wondering if whether or not you get the new DRM might be dependent upon which server the books are located on? Usually I can DL the same free book from Google Books or Amazon & have no issues.
Other then the free books I have not purchased anything new from B&N since I became aware of the change over & have been purchasing most of my books from Google books. I have several devices in addition to Nooks & I do not want to have to rely on the very flaky Nook for PC app to read BN books.
So far, since most of the time I can still future proof my BN books, I have left well enough alone. I am hoping Alf will come up with a solution built in to a future Tools update.
