You can still download Nook ebooks, but since we can no longer trust B&n to allow us access to our purchases I think you should go ahead and take the extra step of stripping the DRM as well. (Kudos to Chris Meadows for guessing that B&N would be foolish enough to use security as their justification).īut never mind B&N let’s look at what readers should do next. Given the ease with which one can strip the DRM from the ebooks bought at the Nook Store, I’m not sure exactly what security is gained by blocking the direct download option. Customers can also continue to sideload other supported file formats. Customers can continue to access all of their content through the NOOK Library® on any NOOK device or Free NOOK Reading App™ as they have always been able to do. Content that has previously been downloaded can continue to be sideloaded to NOOK devices. The ability to download from the NOOK® website and then sideload certain NOOK eBooks has been discontinued as part of a recent security update. Sadly, B&N has confirmed that they did it on purpose: When I first reported yesterday that B&N had removed the option to download ebook purchases from its website, I didn’t know whether that was a technical snafu or an intentional move.
