The Online Books Page, maintained by the University of Pennsylvania, lists over three million free books available for download in dozens of different formats. The site itself is pretty boring, but the long list of titles might make you a repeat visitor.

Many people are reacting negatively to this, but the truth is there are still several ways to download Nook ebooks to create backups, move books between devices, or, if you so choose. You just can’t download Nook ebooks from a web browser anymore. And with B&N set to, we can expect to see lots of additional changes in the coming months.Like most people, I just figured the removal of the download option for ebooks was another one of B&N’s quirks, and that the issue would get worked out in a few days. But that’s not the case this time.Nook Customer Care tweeted this in response to a customer who asked why they couldn’t download their purchased ebooks:The ability to sideload NOOK purchased content has been discontinued.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.— NOOK Customer Care (@NOOKCare)Barnes and Noble appears to be making other changes as well. I can’t get Nook for Web to work at all this morning; it just gives an error message. Is it another quirk, or something bigger? Perhaps B&N is revamping Nook for Web, as they what to move toward an online reading platform.Whatever B&N’s reasoning is, if you want control of the Nook books that you purchased then you better take action and download them all locally while you still can. Who knows, B&N could start blocking these alternatives at any time, especially considering some have already been killed off by B&N in the past.

How to Download Nook BooksThere are several ways to download your purchased Nook ebooks to get them on a Windows or Mac computer for backup, at which point you can load them into Calibre and from them if you choose (no need to use ADE with those directions). You just have to locate the folder where B&N stores your Nook books locally on your particular system (i.e.
Do you know if this method will still work? I have about 800 nook books and still have functioning devices just not one I can read without backlight long story short I have had it with nook customer service there are 6 nook devices in my household the most recent is two weeks old and I called for the second replacement this morning.
I would really like my money Back for the glowlight plus anyhow am thinking I will go to an Amazon device if I can figure out how to convert my library.Marie says. Just tried to download 2 recently-acquired Nook books, and the Nook for PC no longer works either. It does not find the two most recent books no longer how many times I refresh.This site suggests using the Nook Study program to download; I haven’t tried this yet.I tried to split my ebook purchases across Amazon and B&N because I believe in supporting both vendors. Unfortunately, B&N has officially made it too difficult for me to use their site. Thank goodness I’d long since downloaded and Calibre-ized the many hundreds of books I’d previously gotten from eReader (later bought by B&N) or I’d be out several thousands spent on digital media.C. As of June 2015 BN changed encryption method and no longer uses credit card. No PC desktop application (Nook for PC or Nook Study will properly generate the encryption key, and the website no longer allows downloads.
The ONLY working method is to use a win 8.1 or win 10 machine with the app from the store. This correctly downloads and generates the encrytion key.
Calibre with Alf DeDRM does work on these books. The Nook app downloaded epubs are stored in a new place, users app data local packages BN. You canpoint calibre with plugin there.Angie says. Can you tell me how to get my paid ebooks from my iPad Air to my Mac? I downloaded them to the iPad Nook app, but since the app is no longer going to be supported, I’m trying to get my purchased books (few, but expensive and important) to the mac. I’ve tried Calibre, but can’t find the files on the iPad Air. I’ve tried iFunbox but my Mac wouldn’t allow it to open because of “security issues”.
I know we’re on a deadline here (15 March 2016), and I’ve been trying ever since the UK Guardian published the article last week, without success. Any other suggestions?.says.
I just found out that there is no longer any “nook for mac/pc” app and when I go online to try to read my books it only allows you to to view a sample. So essentially what they have done is ended my access to the many, many books I have purchased unless I use a phone or their reader? It does not look like there is any way to download the books to my computer anymore since I don’t have the computer app and B&N does not allow you to access the book from your online account.
This seems like it should be pretty criminal since they are essentially taking back purchased content from their customers without providing any kind of refund.Even if they have gotten rid of the computer app there is no reason you should not be able to access your purchased content online through your account and all I can find online about this is that people have been complaining and that B&N said a year ago that they “were working on it”.Jack says. I just downloaded Nook for PC to my Windows 7 computer. (CNet still has it available.) I installed it with no trouble and gave it my account information (email address and password), which it had no trouble authenticating.
Then I tried to get it to synch with my library and it found.nothing. So I tried hooking my Nook Color to the computer and synching that way.
It asked for my Adobe ID and password, which I gave it. It asked me to authorize both the PC and the Nook, which I did.
Then I again attempted to synch, and Nook for PC.still. found nothing!I must conclude that B&N has deliberately disabled any access by Nook for PC, as part of its partnership with Microsoft which “encourages” people to “upgrade” their OS to Window 8.1 or 10. The only technique that I can now find for downloading Nook books to the PC is via Nook for Android, which means either downloading them to a smart phone (as if I had that much room on my phone) or installing the Windows version of Android.says. Working as of 5/16/2017.I purchases a book from the Barnes and Noble website but there was no download link for the epub file like they use too. I was able to view the ebook on my android tablet just fine, but I wanted the epub file as a backup just in case something happen. After a lot of research I was able to download the epub file and remove the DRM encryption. Here are the steps and please post a comment if this works for you.I use Google search to find all the software versions and instructions.– Download Nook for PC 2.5.6 the old version.– Download Calibre 2.85.1– Download Apprentice Alf DeDRM – DeDRMtools6.5.3.zip– Install Nook for PC and download the epub file from your library.
(go to your library, click the options button then download. Verify in your Documents folder that the epub file downloaded)– Install Calibre. (straight forward)– Install Apprentice Alf DeDRM plugin into Calibre.
(instructions online)– Configure the DeDRM plugin so that it can retrieve your encryption key from Barnes and Noble (you’ll need to enter your Barnes and Noble email and password in order to retrieve the encryption keys from Barnes and Noble servers. If you are scared, changed your password after you verify that everything is working.This worked for me and I hope it works for everyone.Thanks.Andrew says.
