Hi all. I'm new here but this looks like a great forum. I have searched the web for answers on this and I keep getting stuck, so I hope no one minds if I dive in with a question.
I have never owned a Nook but I bought about 10 Nook books in the days when you could read them via Nook for PC and later, Nook for the Web. I have one Nook book downloaded on my Windows 7 computer and that is all. The rest, I suppose, are in the cloud. I do have a Windows 8.1 PC as well, if that would help.
Since last summer, I have not been able to read any of my Nook books, some of which I never read at all. What I understand regarding this problem is that Barnes & Noble redesigned their website early in 2015, I think, and some functionality was lost. Since that time, when I click on a book in my "Nook Library" (through BN.com's website), I am redirected to the catalog page listing the books for sale. I have the option of "adding them to my bag" and pay for them (again) and that is all. Previously, it would open my book for me.
In the meantime, I bought my first e-reader, a Kindle Paperwhite. I chose this in part because I lost faith in Barnes & Noble and the Nook after the trouble I've been through with this issue. Ideally, I would like to transfer all my purchased and free Nook books to my Kindle or PC, and I have downloaded Calibre to assist with this, but I am not sure whether I can access the Nook books in the first place or how to do so.
Any help you can offer -- or if moving this thread to a different subforum would be better -- I would greatly appreciate it.
:thanks:
