gbm - thanks for the link. I went there and followed the directions a little lower down on the page from what has been posted. I haven't received an email, either, but it appears some NC software (updated?) meets their protocol. My NC has 1.4.4.
I just pulled in a couple books (from Nook for PC, but I could also get them from the Nook Color) and two magazines (Nat Geo - from NC only, to maintain the graphics and pictures, including the Canon photography ads ;-). "Pulled in" being into Calibre (main library on PC) and there to Calibre Companion (main reader) on Samsung tablet running Nook app as a reader. So, if it already meets the protocol....maybe there will be BN on 6/30? One can hope.
Here is the rest of the page, there's reference to Nook Tablet, too.

NOOK Device Software Updates for TLS 1.2 Compliance
All websites that handle customer information and process payment data are upgrading to new security standards, known as Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS Versions below 1.2 are being phased out, and devices accessing the Internet that are not updated to utilize the required TLS Version will not be able to perform many functions related to Internet connectivity.
After June 29th, 2018, if your NOOK Device is not updated to meet these new TLS security standards, you will not be able to make any purchases, or download and manage your NOOK Content from your NOOK Device.
The following NOOK Software Versions already meet this new standard:
NOOK HD/HD+: 2.2.1
NOOK Simple Touch & NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight: 1.2.2
NOOK GlowLight: 1.3.2
NOOK Color and NOOK Tablet: 1.4.4
If you find you are having trouble connecting to the NOOK Shop, downloading and managing your content, and if your Software Version number is lower than what is displayed above, you will need to update your software using the instructions provided below.
Determining the Version Number of Your Current NOOK Software
Go to NOOK Settings.
Tap on Device Info.
Tap on About Your NOOK.
Locate the version number of the NOOK software installed on your NOOK
