For a while, the Nook app (the only way to download B&N books that still works) was removed from the Microsoft store without notice or explanation. Similar to the way that the former B&N Nook and Nook Study programs just stopped working one day.
Then once the app came back, downloads just stopped working for a while. That was a technical glitch I believe. It seems to be working now.
But B&N has a history of changing DRM schemes, stopping downloads and blocking their programs without warning.
When was the last time you purchased a Nook book and removed the DRM? As far as I know it still works, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were to suddenly stop.

Also you can read standard Adept DRM books on a nook, so I think there strategy was to lure those users over to them.

My point was I'd like to see B&N ditch their proprietary DRM and just use Adobe DRM (and allow downloads of the books from their website, like they used to).
