If this is the direction Amazon is going, then I guess it's a good thing Nook books can be "liberated" again. I was going to start buying from B&N anyhow, I guess this might give me another "push" to do it.

EDIT: I was able to download my free Prime book (that I usually ignore) and it went into Calibre fine -- so I guess noDRM is still alive (at least for some books). This book was published in 2023.
It's nothing to do with DRM, but you've not be able to D&T samples for some time.
