Will no more buying from B&N, it appears that they do not want to do business with me. I will not be paying $100+ for a windows license just to use the s*&^%^y B&N windows app.

I wondered about this as I haven't bought ebooks from B&N for quite a while now (though I still shop at my local one for paper books). In case you haven't seen it yet, there's a recent thread about how they're locking things down:

Haven't tried it myself, but some in the thread say that you can use the nook PC app, sync the books to your PC via that app, and then access them from this rather hidden folder to import to Calibre:
C:\Users\
YourUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva3 1enc\LocalState
Or the version that uses the localappdata parameter, in case your user folder is in a different path:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva3 1enc\LocalState
Would be interested to hear if either of you are able to buy a book this way and get it into Calibre. If so, this would really end up being pretty similar to how I already do things with my Kindle books. Not any more work than that, really, although I realize it's not as convenient as when B&N used to let you directly download.
Question: What's the bit about $100 for a Windows license? Not familiar with that.
