I'm guessing Windows 11 doesn't have the C library dependency you can download from the link (in an earlier post). I definitely know that I was able to install the Nook App in Windows 11 but I did install the libraries that you can download at the same link.

I didn't know that. That might be a good reason to keep using Calibre 6.x — or can this feature be disabled?

But better to run Quality Check to be sure, yes.

What's Quality Check? Something that can be run in Linux?

For what it may be worth, if you download the VCLibs Redistributable Packages, open the downloaded .zip file and extract and install the Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00_12.0.21005.1_x86__8wekyb3d 8bbwe.appx package, that is the one needed to install the Nook app package downloaded from the Adguard supplied link (it's an x86 package so needs the VC x86 library installed).

I tested this on a fresh Windows 11 install in a virtual machine.

Quality Check is a calibre plugin. One of it's ePub options is to check for DRM.

I'll look into that. Thank you.
