I'm not missing the point and it's not pedantry to say they didn't change the DRM scheme (or not trying to be). I didn't buy much from them then or now, but still do now what I did before the key thing which is download a book via Nook for PC and disinfect it, nothing has changed.

I get what you're saying and know it cost them a few customers (especially MobileRead folks). I totally get why it would make you stop giving them your business. I don't think it's something that has hurt nook a ton in the grand scheme though and they were already in trouble well before that. A very small fraction of customers care about anything but buying a book and reading it on the devices & apps a given store makes available. Certainly not about removing DRM.

Anyway, didn't mean for things to get so far off track. Sorry.
