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.

Logging into Nook for PC

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

Don't know about Windows 10 because it worked perfectly on my old computer running Windows 10, but on my new computer running Windows 11, there's no option to reset the Nook app. And since I'd already future proofed all my Barnes & Noble purchases, it doesn't really matter anyway. I've moved on to another provider.

Whoops. Didn't notice the name difference.

Is it just the Nook app missing the reset option or has that been removed for all apps? I've used the reset option a few times over the years to troubleshoot; it's a shame if it's been permanently removed.

As of today, July 19, 2024, the app passed Norton's approval. I downloaded and installed it, but all I can do is read Nook books on my PC. I still cannot move books from Nook device to Calibre, or from Calibre to the Nook device. I wish I had known about the June 1924 deadline to download my books. 95% of my books are Nook. This forces me to buy a new Nook or a new tablet or an Onyx Book. Buying a Kobo will not help me download 1200+ Nook books. No reason to have Calibre, I guess.

There's nothing in the Nook app that will allow you to directly download your Nook books. You have to find them in your directory structure, move them to another directory (or read them directly into Calibre from where they are).

For example, my Nook books are in this directory...

C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\BarnesN oble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc\LocalState

Once you get there you'll see your ePub files (assuming you've downloaded your books from Barnes & Noble using the app). They'll be listed by numbers with the ".epub" extension. The won't be listed by name.

To DeDRM them I believe you have to run a Barnes & Noble script in the DeDRM plugin in Calibre for first time use. That will set up a hash which you can back up. (I believe that's all there is to it but it's been quite a while since I set it up - besides I think there is a limit to how much I say about it in this forum.)

(I don't know why the forum is adding a space between "N" and "o" in "BarnesNoble" - it's not there when I post, but shows up after posting?)

I cannot download the 1200 Nook books into my Nooks at all since my 2 Nooks were discontinued. Don't the books have to be downloaded on my Nooks instead of in the cloud before I back them up on Calibre?

I know I can read them on my PC (Nook for Windows) or on an Android eReader or on a tablet with the Nook app or I can read them on a brand new Nook.

I wanted to get a Kobo, but I cannot read my Nook books on it. I guess I am stuck using an Android ereader/tablet or a new Nook if I want to download my Nook books from the cloud.

Am I correct that there is no way to back them up or organize the Nook books on Calibre?

I see it in this:

I thought perhaps a special space accidentally entered, because I was able to delete it in post edit, but comes back on Preview

Adguard Online Link Generator: the Nook app

I am confused. Does Adguard have the Nook App or is it Nook for PC app?

I just want to download my Nook books on my PC that were not downloaded by the June 2024 deadline. I cannot use my Nook to download them to my PC. Will the Adguard App do it? Do I need to buy a new Nook?

Does the Nook App still work if I download it? (Not the Nook for Windows app.)
Thanks

I have never bought any Nook books, but to my knowledge that's not how you back them up - you don't download them to your Nook devices, but to your Nook app on your PC and get the files from the location where the app stores them, to import into Calibre. I have no idea how you remove the Nook DRM, though.

No, you can download them via the Nook for Windows app (the application you used to be able to get in the Windows Store). I thought you had downloaded and successfully installed that program in Windows? If not, I think you can still get it and install it (via the link shown in this thread, or maybe another thread).

Once downloaded, you can read them into Calibre and DeDRM them so they can be read with your Kobo eReader. No Nook device is needed to do this.

Once you feed them into Calibre and DeDRM them, you can read them in any E-Ink eReader — Kobo included.

What I mean when I say you can download the Nook books is that you first download them via the Nook for Windows app to your PC (no Nook device needed for this). Once you have the files downloaded to your PC, you can set up DeDRM in Calibre to clear the DRM and read them on any eReader. The only thing you have to do is find the files on the PC, which is why I passed along my sample directory where my Nook ePub files are saved on my computer. Yours will not be exactly the same, but if you download your books via the app, they'll be somewhere similar on your computer.

No, I have all my Nook books saved and backed up in Calibre (not nearly as many as you have). I downloaded all of them and DeDRM'd them in Calibre. I can read these books I purchased from B&N on a Kobo, Sony, Tolino, PocketBook, EZReader or JetBook — and if I convert them to AZW format I can read them on a Kindle.

There are other threads that explain how to do this in more detail. But it can be done. (Unless you can no longer create the needed decryption Hash in the DeDRM Calibre plugin. But I think it can still be done. If I'm wrong someone will probably correct me.)
