I did hear some of the ePub books from the nook store had device specific DRM so they may not work, but certainly ePubs bought generally will work.

One of the reasons I left the Kindle was DRM. I think it's wrong. It's like telling someone who bought a hardcover book that they can only read it at home. They can't take it anywhere.
I bought the book, I should be able to read it wherever I want. Regardless of the format. |

And EPUB doesn't have DRM?

Two-finger swipe light level adjustment without installing third-party hacks. Double the internal storage. Capacitive touch non-recessed screen rather than recessed infrared touch screen - individual preferences here. Somewhat more even lighting. |

i use calibre to update as i along with all the other shelves i have 3
aaReading aaToRead zzRead so i have a column & a search set up on calibre so i can add books to any of the 3 shelves (actually use the goodreads sync so goodreads updates what i'm reading/read) and then when i plug my kobo in it will move from toread to reading and then read i tried to get the readinglist plug in to work but i failed and got bored with it so gave up, but am intending to try again so if i add anything to ToRead it will automatically add it to my Kobo |

I think it IS pretty funny - not everyone keeps their credit cards as long as their books.
SO, change your bank, change our card, lose your record of the old card number, then change your reader, & it's bye bye books. I could be wrong, but to get your previous purchases books onto new Nook hardware I think you will need that card number. Leastways, I read many horror stories saying that when I was evaluating whether to get an end-of-like Nook "bargain". ( mostly here, probably, in the Nook forum ) |

The DRM we are talking about is at least one where you can keep control of what you need to unlock the DRM. Most others tie your device and/or the ebook file to servers that you have no control over. The best and common solution is the one that "apprentice alf" explains on his web site. It is a solution that can let you truly own the ebooks you purchase. Luck; Ken |

I was just having fun & waving a warning flag to the OP ![]() sample horror story follows: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...-expires.shtml ... A sale is a sale, even if many rights holders would rather it wasn't. But, Barnes & Noble doesn't see it that way. Sure, you can buy an ebook from them, but you'd better keep everything in your profile up to date if you plan on accessing your purchases at some undetermined point in the future. Yesterday, I tried to download an ebook I paid for, and previously put on my Nook, a few months ago. When I tried, I got an error message stating I could not download the book because the credit card on file had expired. But, I already paid for it. Who cares if the credit card is expired? It has long since been paid for, so the status of the card on file has nothing to do with my ability to download said book. I didn’t see anything in the terms of service about this either, but it’s possible I missed it..... |
