Hopefully it's temporary, or I'm doing something wrong, or whatever, but none of my Windows apps will sync new books today. NOOK Study stopped working for me a few weeks ago, but today NOOK for PC and NOOK for Windows stopped working as well. They go through the motions of syncing ("Connecting", "Authorizing", "Sync Complete"), but new books don't show up. I tried reinstalling, but now I have an empty library. The NOOK app for Windows does the same thing. The NOOK app for Android still works and I was able to retrieve my new books that way, but the device needs to be rooted for that to work.
I haven't spent any time figuring out what's wrong yet, but I figured I'd shout a heads-up in the meantime. |

I just bought a free ebook from B&N and had no problem getting Nook for PC to download it.

Neat thought. I tried installing the NOOK app in an x86 Android VM and it worked, allowing me to retrieve books. |

I have an old version of Nook for Android that I'm not updating. It stores files in accessible location, where they can be copied to Dropbox and accessed on my computer.
Of course, these days I only have my Asimov's and Analog subscriptions to worry about, but I do have a couple of bucks of settlement money waiting for me there. |

Yes. I used VirtualBox with one of the images from android-x86.org. It's built from CyanogenMod, so root is accessible out of the box. You could do the same thing with the emulator included in the Android SDK, but even the x86 image is slow without rather beefy hardware.
The books are stored in "/data/data/bn.ereader/files/B&N Downloads/Books" and the DRM key is in one of the sqlite3 database files. I'll note that my Android key is now different than my NOOK for PC key, which wasn't the case the last time I imported books from Android. I'd forgotten about that and didn't realize it still worked. Anyone with a version older than 4 doesn't need root. |

I'm thinking about using mine for a couple of issues of Ellery Queen or Alfred Hitchcock mystery magazines. They're already DRM-free (at least, they have been in the past) so I'll just have to Dropbox them into Calibre on my computer.

Nook Study appears to be broken on MacOS Sierra now.

Can't log into NookStudy on new install
I hadn't bothered with B&N for a while but found a bunch of older books by one of my favorite authors that are sold ONLY at B&N.
Found a site to download NookStudy again (was silly, should've left it on my PC / Win7), but it just spins and spins, claiming to sign me in, but then never lets me in, just shows the login-form again after a while. It seems to recognize my login-credentials because when I try a previously used pw, it right away tells me to double-check the entered data. Anyone have an idea what else I could try? I don't have an iDevice and my Android one isn't rooted. UPDATE Sorry, should've tested first - now downloaded an old copy of Nook for PC and THAT ONE still works! Yay!! Downloaded my test books (that were still in my account), liberated it with Calibre and am off to read it now. Last edited by SilenceIsGolden; 04-30-2018 at 01:35 PM. Reason: Found solution! |

If you're running Windows 10 (couldn't figure out if the Win7 mentioned was an old PC) the Nook for PC app in the Microsoft store works fine. Finding the buried folder where your downloaded books takes some work though. But I've had no problem downloading books and removing DRM from them.

I made the mistake of logging out of Nook Study last year sometime and it never would let me log back in.
Just tried it now and it did load and I was still somehow signed in to it. |
