I'm not sure why would you need to move books from devices instead of downloading them from site? eBook reader blog has a comparison between those two ereaders.

I probably did not explain well... I connected my 2 Nooks to Calibre. I can see the Nook device books on Calibre, but I cannot seem to do anything with them on Calibre. I probably just do not understand what to do or how to do it. I thought I had to download books from the device to Calibre to back them up. Since my devices no longer let me download books (as of June 2024), I have no access to the old purchases except with Nook web. I do not have Nook App that was removed from Microsoft store.
Thank you for letting me know about the buttons and swiping.
I have no idea how to add a 2nd quote here....
To DNSB- I cannot even use the quote thing here, so Calibre may be asking too much of me! I will look for step by step instructions. I worry about the major players discontinuing the apps so that we have to buy their ereaders. Buying a Boox would not help me if the Kindle app and Nook app went away. Best solution seems to be a KOBO if I can learn how Calibre works.
To JS Wolf- Sorry about the trouble. This was my first post, and I did not know that j.p.s. was responsible for smacking people on the hands when they were just trying to help newbies.
To j.p.s.- Sorry. I will try to delete mine. I did not know about what you don't want posted on this website. But did you really type "You did it first"? Sort of like " I will take my ball and go home." Unfortunate for me that in my first post, I irritated you. Not intentially though. And I don't know anything about "boosting their presence."
To Quoth- Thank you. I did not know that about Smashwords. Very helpful.
Another question... If I buy a Kobo, will I need to do a lot to set it up? I have been reading about adding "patches" and I assume the patches are to help the Kobo run better for the owner. It may be better for me to get an Android like Onyx Boox, but I really liked the idea of repairing and adding new batteries to the 3 newest Kobos. (I Fix It) I love the Right to Repair movement.
And only the Boox will let me have access to my undownloaded Nook books, right? I refuse to buy another Nook or their books since they took away my right to download. I know the devices were old, but they did not have to stop the downloading part....just stop upgrading it and let it die a natural life. My batteries still lasted a couple of weeks on a charge.
Thanks, everyone. I may have more questions.
