It's kind of astounding that B&N removed the ability to easily back up even DRMed ebooks. I remember when I got my nook Simple Touch I backed up all their books by just connecting the device to my PC. Got to wonder who gave them cash to magically disappear those books from showing up on devices now. Once they finally bite the dust, there will be millions of people no longer able to access their nook books. If that does happen, it will have a terrible chilling effect on ebook purchases, which of course would make many publishers happy.
