Hello, not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. I have Nook (the Barnes/Noble eReader app) and would like to download/access the files for storage elsewhere.

I've run into a few problems...firstly, the files are (apparently) hidden. Also they are apparently DRM'ed and from what I can tell this stamp is tough to remove. I've heard there are apps out there like "Epubor" that can work around this but no idea if that's true or not. And lastly it doesn't appear they can be moved off the app.

I get that BN is worried about piracy, looking to protect authors' rights etc but my point-of-view is that I paid for these files and have a right to use/access them without being tied down to BN's proprietary software. Long story short I'd like to find some way around BN's digital obstacles so I can, you know, use the files I paid for. What are my options?
