The only Windows I have at present is a W7 Virtualbox that I run when there is no Linux alternative available. Is there a W7 compatible Nook reader?

I dug out my ancient Android phone and to my surprise it actually works to some degree. Unfortunately it appears that its WiFi support is too old as it will not connect with my network. I have tried using USB networking as well, but it isn't working without further work on my part.

When I try to open the Nook app it crashes, likely because it is trying to "phone home" and cannot do so without a network connection.

Maybe I can get this working in some manner, or maybe it will not be necessary.

The reason I am looking into this after all these years is that B&N now has some magazines that Amazon does not yet have. Should Amazon get their act together I will be able to get the magazines there.

I already have Calibre installed and am able to download .epub books from my local library and convert them to .azw3 for use on my Kindle, so I suspect I am ready to deal with a B&N .epub provided I can actually download one.

Thank you for your suggestions and any further ones you may have.
