I did buy a graphic novel through Nook a while back, and at first Calibre wouldn't remove the DRM. It turned out I had to open the ePub with 7-zip and move some file from one folder to another. Once I did that, Alf's stuff worked as expected.

They might have made that change to all ePub. If that's the case, Nook books are still strippable. I could check it with that copy of Rawhide Flat I downloaded, but I likely won't bother.

If you want to investigate further, go to Alf's blog. I don't remember the details and I don't think we're supposed to be too detailed here anyway.

I do wonder a bit if some of those books on Nook but not Amazon are books where the contract has expired, but no one on the Nook side bothered to remove them.
I assumed that was the case. Barnes and Noble is just letting Nook wither on the vine. I don't know their business, but from my outsider's perspective, Nook's dire situation seems self-inflicted.
