Since B&N completely removed Nook for PC and Nookstudy from their servers, I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. One day, I'll open one of those programs and it will no longer download books.

I know it's stupid, but the last few times I bought one of their books, I get a panicky, fluttery feeling wondering if I'll be able to strip the DRM this time.
I bought a nook HD refurb tablet awhile back, price was too good to pass by and I really like that tablet. But I had to debate even using the $5 credit for an ebook as it seemed a waste of effort. And without a herculean effort I can only read the ebook I bought on the nook. Also I'm hoping that one day I don't turn on the tablet to find a server error or such and that I must root the tab to use it again and with another OS. Every day I expect to read that nook is history.
