I was trying to see what works and what doesn't and here's what I came up with.
The Windows app downloads books and I can remove the DRM using Calibre, BUT the key that the Calibre dialog retrieves no longer works. The NOOK Study key works, though, and even after the incomplete login, the instructions in the B&N readme from the Tools found the working key. The Android thing appears to be related to the TLS 1.2 updates a while ago. Older devices don't work, newer ones do. Unfortunately, Android-x86, even the latest version, no longer works, so I had to use a legit Android phone. The Android app also uses the same key as NOOK Study and books can be retrieved from a rooted phone ("/data/data/bn.ereader/files/B&N Downloads/Books"). Edit: If you need a copy of NOOK Study, this link still works. Last edited by Difflugia; 01-09-2019 at 04:01 PM. |

That totally worked! Thanks!
The problem with NOOK for PC is that the login is fine and the library syncs, but downloading any book with DRM fails. Samples and some indie books download, but any with DRM give a "Download: 2157" error. |

Thank goodness I downloaded all my books when we first started having problems with the download links on their website. This sounds like a mess! And as someone still on a Window 7 computer, I couldn't install the app.

I tested NookStudy with a free title tonight and it worked without any difficulties.

Here's a link to an old version of the readme at github with the NOOK Study instructions: DeDRM_calibre_plugin/DeDRM_plugin/DeDRM_Barnes and Noble Key_Help.htm from Tools v6.2.0. The instructions you want start with "There is a work-around." |

A long time ago Nook Study had trouble connecting. I know there's a work around, but I installed the B&N Windows 10 app and that works, so I've never bothered.

1. I downloaded the Nook app from the windows store.
2. Opened Calibre, selected “Add Books” and then used the following address: C:\Users\"username"\App Data\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc \LocalState 3. Books were added in Calibre, but some would open up with a dialogue box stating “This book is locked by DRM.” 4. Do I need to open up the DeDRM 6.6.3 plugin in calibre and make new keys? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ap...20Key_Help.htm Thanks in advance! PS...Great thread!! |

The Mobileread policy (as I last knew and understood it) is that we can link to instructions for DeDRM, but can't give the instructions themselves here. If the (admittedly somewhat cryptic) directions above don't get the plugin working for you, ask directly at Alf's blog or at github. If you do get it to work, I suggest that you make a backup of the NOOK app's APK file. Even if a future update breaks the ability to get the key, it would be a much bigger pain (though not unheard of) to stop old versions from working in a way that forces everyone to update. If you don't have a rooted Android device, you can run the Android NOOK app in Google's development emulator. The emulator can be installed with Android Studio. The easiest way to get it up and running is to install the Studio (the default "standard" option is fine), making sure that "Android Virtual Device" is selected as a component to be installed. When it runs for the first time, create a new project with a "Basic Activity" and select "Run->Run App". Click the defaults through a few prompts and you should see a virtual Android phone booting up and eventually the sample app you just created ("Hello World!"). You can now interact with it using the virtual touch screen and adb commands ("adb install app_name.apk" will install an APK file you've saved, "adb root" will toggle root access and "adb shell" will give you a command prompt on the device). |
