Yeah, I was bitten when B&N arbitrarily changed their DRM scheme. There were workarounds, but at that point I switched to Amazon.

It may be time for me to try again -- the last time I tried, there wasn't a native way to download in Windows and I was using the old NOOK Study program (as recommended at the time.) I kind of gave up on NOOK when I lost the app on my Windows tablet; however, I've never looked on the PC side for a Windows 10 app. I'll look into that -- I would love having that as an option again. Thanks!

Running Windows 10, I just installed the Nook app from the Windows store and signed in to my B&N account. It let me download the book and I was able to move it over to Calibre with Alf's tools and it worked. This is a brand new laptop and I didn't do any special configuration and it all worked easily. The biggest issue was finding the folder where the app downloaded books to (and I believe the file was just a bunch of numbers).
I'm still sticking with Amazon for their selection. But from my experiment, I would move over to B&N before trying Kobo, Google Play or any of the others.
YMMV of course.
