Ugh! I just saw this actually on one of my newsfeeds. Sure enough I go to my barnes and noble account and there is no download button next to the books. I hardly use b&n except when someone gets me a gift card. I have a kindle and use amazon primarily. I so however use calibre and disinfect each and every book I purchase. I am so glad I did this with the books I bought at b&n so I didn't really lose anything because the 20 books I did purchase there, are safe in my calibre library but it still is frustrating. Do they even realize how many readers they are going to drive away. I for one am not purchasing anything from them anymore and I will make sure my friends and family now know that I don't use them anymore. They lost my business, too bad. Not really a loss for me though. I guess this is a lesson in why it is sooo important to make each purchase really your own by running it through calibre and freeing it. I would have been screwed had I not done that as there were a few of those books I hadn't read yet.

I cannot even fathom that. Here they are with falling sales and they pull this? Unbelievable. UNBELIEVABLE.
Maybe B&N are mistaking excuses for not buying the business as the reasons for not buying.

I have a few hundred books in B&N and an old Nook Glow. I've never bought from them though as all my books are from Fictionwise and I safely downloaded them when they closed.

They certainly don't seem to have a clue what they are doing. It's like watching the Titanic sink.

If it doesn't with a pre-existing version, then at least you can uninstall and try it from fresh?
I got about 29 items downloaded by this option.

I'll have to do the rest individually it seems.

Just to reconfirm, if you have the Nook app for Android the book can be downloaded to your tablet/phone. You can then retrieve it via USB cable, a micro-SD card, etc.

It's a hassle, but it can be done.

I got 336 out of 343 using Nook for PC though a couple never had downloaded and a few I didn't bother with as they were just sample chapters rather than the whole books.

When using Nook for PC, B&N checks that the default credit card on the account is valid before allowing you to download some (most) of your already purchased books.

At least for free books, as I don't think I've ever actually purchased a book from B&N.

And free public domain books fall into this net...

They haven't changed the actual DRM as far as I can tell (I just "safely backed up" newly DL'd copies via Nook for PC and they came through clean) but...? That statement is a bit disconcerting, because it makes this whole thing look like it might be even bigger than it appears to be.
As long as you have the current information which is the name on the account and the credit card number, it will work to remove the DRM. I've just downloaded all my B&N eBook and stripped the DRM. I'm just now using the find duplicates plugin to delete the eBooks that have not changed and seeing which ones have.

And you can't download comic books with Nook for PC.

Nor can you 'read' the comic books in Nook to PC.

After my Fictionwise books appeared on B&N, I made it a project to download all of my ebooks from B&N and store them in Calibre. Looks like that was a good decision. Haven't purchased an ebook from B&N since then, definitely won't be purchasing any more now.

Unfortunately, NOOK for Mac doesn't work at all on 10.8, so it looks like I'll have to clear some free space on ye olde Mac Mini before I can try there.
Nook for Mac worked for me on Mavericks 10.9.5 (the very latest version, I'd updated earlier today). Weird. Glad this news hit before Yosemite and thanks for the heads up. Disappointing.

How is this different from Amazon? I have to download my Amazon books to Kindle For PC and then load them into Calibre and convert them to epub.
