I'm leery of resubscribing with B&N's latest moves. While it seems to work okay with the Nook for PC program now, I'd hate to resubscribe and it stop working in a few months.

Cromag says he thinks they don't have DRM. If I was in the US I think I'd risk the subscription.

I'm just worried they'll block the Nook for PC app and the Greasemonkey script and it won't be possible to download them at all. Can you copy the epubs from the Nook app on Android? (I am rooted, so that's not an issue if required to do so.) If so I may go for it. |

How can B&N change their DRM? If they do change the DRM, how then would the eBooks be able to be used with a nook that doesn't know about this new DRM?

Then again, technically you don't actually purchase an ebook, but license it, so they might be able to legally yank it from your older devices. The resulting PR disaster wouldn't help their business any. |

It does seem that for new accounts and accounts where the name/CC# have recently changed that B&N are using a new key generation scheme. |

I don't know if this is related, but a few weeks ago I ran into an ebook from B&N that resisted conversion via the "tools." It turns out I had to create a new key file by tweaking my name as it appeared on my CC. I either dropped my middle initial or first name, but after that I've had no problems.
My purchases from B&N have dropped off, largely from my displeasure at their new download policy. I assume the tools try both key files now. |

So I decided to renew with this, and when I try it tells me it's already in my library. Anyone know how I go about actually renewing?

That sounds like B&N. Ummm.. cancel existing subscription and then take out the new subscription?

I have an existing subscription for this combo as well, and my understanding was that it would automatically renew. I could be wrong though.

I talked to B&N the other day, and they told me that I could call B&N to cancel the subscription and then sign up for a new subscription by 10/12. I don't know if the existing subscription will renew at the $29.99 price, so I might do that. |

Had some new info to add:

![]() Also, a yearly sub to Analog and Asimov's both is just 10 issues. I subscribed on 12/29 and now have 44 issues total (24 back issues, and 20 from the new year), so now's probably the time to cancel if you want to avoid potential auto-bill shock. |
