I just tried to follow the Nook Study directions without success.I had to install the package first as I had never used it.Perhaps it needs to have a profile set up first of some kind?I enter my email address and password but no matter how quickly I close it I still have a blank form when I restart it.

I also had never used Nook Study before and had to download it. When I tried to log in with my B&N info I received the error message that "A network problem has occurred. This may be the result of slow, limited or no connectivity. Please try again later." I have entered the info quite a few times but never got anywhere else. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I tried the old Nook for PC and it is giving me the same message as the other two comments.I am sick over this.There has to be a way to have a copy of my Nook books for myself.I am not buying another Nook as my newest (Glowlight3) has been a horrible device.I wish I would have downloaded my books when I could.I paid for them!!

I have tried the old Nook for PC and Nook Study and that didn't work per my previous comment.

I just tried the Nook app from the windows store- I downloaded all of my books but they are not downloading to my computer - at least I can't find them anywhere after searching thoroughly.I guess Barnes and Noble have figured out a way to keep them in the app and off my computer? I'm not tech savvy and do not understand how apps work. Do you have any other ideas for backing up my Nook books?

Thank you.

Has anyone considered a class action lawsuit against B&N for blocking Nook ebook purchasers from downloading their Nook ebooks?

None of these work any longer.Can only read by signing onto your barns and noble account now.Can't download.This is why ebooks suck...they can take them away from you anytime they want.

Not all for Windows 10 will not install, update, or anything else. I've uninstalled, cleared registry, tried to re install, nothing. Luckily i had all mine backed up in Calibre.

Earlier this year I downloaded my Nook books via the windows app like you suggested.I found the files and made a note of where they were located but I tried to retrieve them today and they are gone.How can they just disappear?

Does it still work to download them using the windows app? I just tried it but I cannot find them.They aren't here: C:\Users\"username"\App Data\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc \LocalState

I am so frustrated with Barnes and Noble!I haven't bought anything from them in ages, nor will I ever again.

I have the Nook for PC app on my Windows 10 computer but it will not let me sign in.It continues to tell me that my password is wrong, even though it works on the B&N web site.I have tried resetting the password a few times but that doesn't work either.Another unsupported B&N Nook issue?

In the past I downloaded, opened and closed a book in the Nook for PC app then went to the LocalState file where I had to find the correct book since it had no title just a bunch of numbers (ISBN + other identifying numbers) then copied the book to a file for Nook books and renamed the copied file with the name of the book.Now I open the LocalState file to discover that most of the books in this file are just jpg files of the book cover of the book.The text of the books are no longer actually downloaded to the PC as they were before.Or am I not in the correct location?Thank you

Which version of the Nook epub file can be decrypted without me having to send my username and password to you? I assume that not everyone trying to remove DRM from Nook files has to do that, so which way should I access the files so that the app decrypts it immediately? Does it depend on the when the book was originally purchased or which device you use to download it?

I have an issue where I no longer have a physical nook, but I still have my entire library on it, so I want to download my nook library to my computer so that I would be able to convert it to my kindle. I got the nook for windows 10 app and started downloading books, and it seemed to be working because the loading bar was populating, but when I went to check the file path there was nothing there. I looked under the nook ultimate folder as well as documents and downloads, and there was still nothing. So then I tried to uninstall the app and delete the folders with the hope that it would work upon reinstallation. Still nothing (this time, the installation didn’t even create the nook ultimate folder). I went searching on my computer and checked the file path: C:\Users\”username”\App Data\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc \LocalState and still – you guessed it – nothing. I'm frustrated because I paid for the books, I should be able to download them.

I'm a fairly technical user. If I buy a license can you send me the instructions for generating the key file? That seems a whole lot more secure than sending you my account credentials, which quite frankly is just not an option.

Had I known this was going on, I would have never purchased an ebook in the format of NOOK. I am experiencing the same travail as all of you. I found this jewel on looking for a suitable app for windows 10. BN has known of this problem for a long time and will not switch ebook format back to .pdf.

Is Nook app discontinued?
On March 10, Microsoft and Nook Media updated their agreement forged two years ago, according to a new 8-K filing by Barnes & Noble. Under terms of the amendment, Nook Media is allowed to discontinue distributing the Nook Windows app and to cease work on its Windows Phone app.Mar 13, 2014

I downloaded the Nook for PC.I then downloaded some of my books from my B & N library.The Epubor app worked on the few books I converted.I did them one at at time, but I only had a limited amount of time.When I came back the next day, it only worked when I re-archived the book and then downloaded it again.I have a large library so I knew I wasn't going to do this for every book.So, I uninstalledand reinstalled everything, the Nook app and Epubor.Second time around I unarchived and downloaded everything.Then I highlighted all the books in Epubor and dragged them together.The DRM was removed from each of them.I then highlighted all of the files and converted them all at once.Everything decrypted successfully.I was then able to load them onto my Kindle.Worked like a charm!I have saved a copy of each Epub version and the converted version of all of my
B & N books in my OneDrive since I've never used the 1TB of storage.I'm good to go, irrespective of anymore changes B & N inevitably will make.I'm done with them.
