Because if you do and try to download a B&N-DRM book, then it silently fails because the plugin tries to load any epub into its own library instead of asking/saving to disk, but can't because of the DRM. Even if that's not the case, you might get better results by using the old NOOKstudy program to download your books*, even though it'll take longer since it insists on fetching and syncing your entire NOOK library catalogue. * Sometimes the B&N servers time out your login cookies or whatever after 15-20 minutes when downloading directly via the website and cuts you off in the middle. So NOOKstudy might end up being the only way to get a very large file if you've a relatively slow connection which can't grab 700+ megs within that time limit, as I've found out. |

Do you possible use Firefox with Adblock or Ghostery enabled? B&N buttons won't work unless you allow trackers to count your click! I can't remember which one it was, but I had to turn off one of those on the B&N website for the Download button to work.

If you have a Nook it will download automatically when it connects to Wi-Fi.

Thanks to all for your help. Rebooting the computer may have solved the problem. BTW, I use IE, but this morning still had a devil of a time logging onto B&N, but eventually the 'download' button worked and I got the expected 'save as' query.
Now all loaded into Calibre and all is well. Don't know what the problem was but OK now ;-) Tom |

Kobo has it also. At $0.99.
http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/stars-empire However, Kobo charges $1.09 AUD for Australian's, as they illegally add the GST after telling you the price. In Australia, the price is supposed to include the GST. |
