That all changed with the Nook Glowlight, which ditched the SD card yet not giving the user much room for sideloading. In that same time frame they changed their DRM scheme without notice.

Sorry when did B&N ever have a "Social DRM"? I've always needed Calibre to get through their DRM, which used to rely on credit card numbers and stuff.
If they've changed to a harder to crack DRM recently, that's news to me. I rarely buy from them, but I recently bought an expensive academic book that Amazon didn't have, any my existing DeDRM inside of Calibre still decoded it expertly.
