Nook for PC does not work any more
Today,when i tried to download Nook books via my Nook for pc( old version, not windows nook app), I get the error message as below
"We are experiencing technical difficulties at this time--please try again later.(Download: 2157)".
So the Nook for PC will not work anymore????

Use Nook Study, since Nook for PC stopped working for some several years ago.

But the Nook study will not let me log in and pop up "Server error"

I just downloaded Nook books a few days ago via Nook for PC( OLD VERSION). This error is very new~! So I am not sure if I should purchase from Nook again because there is no way for me to remove the DRM with calibre if I can not download them again!

Not sure why you are having a problem. I just downloaded a book using Nook for PC on Windows 10 and imported it into Calibre. It is very slow but still works.

It doesn't make sense with the error, but you might want to confirm your credit card is still active on the B&N site. At one time, it wouldn't allow downloads if it had expired.

You might also want to try uninstalling and reinstalling it. For some reason, it won't download any new ebooks for me unless I do that.

If you're using Windows 8/10, why not try the Windows Nook App? That's all I use on my PCs and have not had problems downloading with them or importing from there to Calibre (though, to be fair, I haven't bought from B&N in a long while).

If nothing else, if the Nook app works and Nook for PC doesn't, you have your answer.

Thank you for your suggestion! Just install Windows Nook app and download my books already. The problem has been fixed. Get my Nook book backed up on my computer coz I never know what will happen again( OF course, Strip the Nook DRM)

Did you have any issue finding where the Nook app stores the books? It can be tricky to find them.

I can't install Nook for PC or Windows Nook! Both say that they are unavailable. B and N seem to be holding my ebooks hostage! I downloaded an old version of nook for PC which shows my books, but when I press download, it either says "remove local copy" or "We are experiencing technical difficulties at this time - please try again later. (Download: 2157)"

I have Nook for PC set up on my Windows 10 PC. It downloaded fine even last month. When I saw this thread, I tried to download a Nook book and - yup, I'm seeing the same 2157 message! So this is very new. I know my credit card is good - checked that.

I had Nook Study before. I found it a bit of a pain at times, but I may try it again. Or, I may try uninstalling Nook for PC and re-installing, and see if that fixes the problem.

Still working okay here so far with Nook for PC 2.5.6.9575

I'm sure the day will come when it eventually dies and I'll have to switch to the Windows 10 app.
