5. (I only know PC) Find the library location by going to ~user\AppData\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble*\LocalSta te
I know it's infinitely easier than Amazon:
Almost no books released in 2024 on Amazon seem accessible. Even when they don't have DRM, the books won't download unless it's on a more recent version of the Kindle Reading app. Books released in 2021-2023 has some that are, some that aren't.
They've also been re-releasing many books with added DRM.

Unfortunately, it appears that B&N removed the Nook for PC app in 2023, and no longer allows for new connections (even if you can find an older copy of the install program).
Too bad! I was hoping for another alternative. Currently, the easiest route I've found is to buy all books through Kobo, where it's a simple import similar to the one you outline for B&N, using the OBOK import plugin.
