Yeah, same here in the suburbs of Detroit. B&N is pretty much it for new books. I can only think of one used book store which is oddly enough in the former location of a Borders.

How many books did you try? It looks like some people are saying certain books work with this method, others don't.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, Calibre gives you no feedback on DRM status until you actually try opening the book. |

I agree, opening the book in Calibre tells you whether it worked or not. I have a single book that won't download, but this same book crashes when I download. I think it is never completely downloading. It's a freebee, so I'm not crushed over it, but that could be the problem others are having with novels. In my case, it says ERRROR xxxx rather than the infamous DRM lock screen.

I bought two books and it worked with both. I was able to open them, do some reformatting to my preferences, and then convert them to add metadata to the front.

My graphic novel, I just needed to move a file from one folder to another in the ePub. It was easy, though I don't remember the details now. |

^Can you speculate on reasons why you and kazbates succeeded with some books, versus why there are many others here and on the tools github site saying that they are having issues importing new books from the Nook app into Calibre? To be clear, I'm not asking about any how-to details of DRM, as a new user I read the site rules here and I know that's off-limits. And I'm familiar with using the tools myself, and having no issues. But I'm not a BN customer and curious why people are having so many problems freeing their books.

That speculation is based on the fact that moving an internal file in the graphic novel ePub (using 7-zip to open the ePub as an archive) solved the problem. I suspect it would solve others problems too. We'd have to find someone that has the problem with a novel, have them check to see if the file was in the right place for the plug-in to check and go from there. If the file is in the right place and it still fails, then something else is the matter. |

^Thanks. I should have said "elaborate" before, but yeah that's what I was after.
Seems like more coordination amongst those having the issue would be a good thing. Although I realize that coordination would have to be elsewhere, like the tools repo Issues page. Last edited by hollowpoint; 04-19-2019 at 07:09 PM. Reason: edit to 2nd para |

This may or may not have anything to do with this but I found out recently in working with Amazon files (book downloaded to PC Kindle) that if it had Unlimited licenses I could Calibre convert the file but if it had restricted number of licenses I could not. Just an area to check out.
