I thought I had read that elsewhere. Now I'm curious. I'll probably have to find a free DRM book (or a cheap one) at B&N to see if DeDRM still works on my computer for B&N books.

It’s my understanding that if we already have it installed we can use nook for PC. I haven’t used it in a few years, but never had any issues signing in and downloading my books. Now I get an error every time I try to log in. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

What's the error message?

I would first reset the app and then try logging in again.

Settings -- Apps -- Nook -- Advanced options -- Reset
(I'm on Windows 10, but I'm sure the steps are similar for Windows 11)

Have you made any changes to your security settings since the last successful login? Could your firewall be blocking the app?

If using wifi, make sure it's not a metered connection. Also, allow the Nook app to run in the background. This setting stymied me once as I have a habit of disabling apps running in the background immediately after installing/reinstalling Windows.

Settings -- Privacy -- Background apps -- Nook -- toggle on

Hope this helps!

The Nook for PC app support was discontinued. It's the Nook for Windows 10 app that still works; however it is no longer in the Windows app store
