Yes it does! I downloaded the Nook for Windows app from the link posted after the app was discontinued in the Microsoft store. I have it running on Windows 11. However, in just the last couple of weeks, I think BN has started using different DRM. Some of my Nook books will open in Calibre and some will not. So, I have once again quit buying from BN. But the Nook for Windows app works just fine.
Edit: Just to be clear. The original Nook for PC program is different than the Nook for Windows app. The old Nook for PC program does NOT work. The Nook for Windows app does. Last edited by cgsmom; 07-25-2024 at 10:19 AM. |

So far I haven't had any problem opening books I bought from Barnes and Noble in Calibre... You would think that if they changed the DRM, then any newly downloaded books would have the new DRM. Maybe I have just been lucky...

As for moving the books, I keep my calibre library on an external hard drive. I like the Western Digital My Passport drives. Makes it easy to move from PC to PC. |

If you haven't already done it, just go to Calibre, Preferences, Plugins, File Type plugins, select DeDRM and Customize. Select the option for B&N books and it should automatically set it up for you. Then just add your ePubs into Calibre again. (If you've already done all this, I apologize for going into this much detail about it.) |

I was also able to download and install Calibre and NoDRM (DeDRM) and create the hash for B&N eBooks. Calibre successfully liberated four books I tested, but none of these are new, so I can't guarantee it'll work on newer books. At any rate, the Nook App does work on Windows 11. At least on my laptop it does. |
