OOver the past two years, there have been continuous reports of bad news about Barnes & Noble, including revenue declines, CEO changes, and decision-making mistakes. This series of negative news has resulted in poor consumer confidence in Barnes & Noble. Many eBook lovers have already invested a significant amount of money in Nook eBooks, but they no longer have the intention to purchase Nook devices if their old ones break or get lost. In contrast, Kindle has become the leading eReader and is attracting the attention of many Nook users.
Here comes the question: How can we read Nook books on Kindle since Nook ebooks are only compatible with Nook devices? The easiest way is by converting Nook to Kindle. Here is the simplest and 100% valid method to convert Nook books to Kindle.
Step 1. Download Nook Books to Computer
The Barnes & Noble eBooks are available in EPUB or PDF formats, while the Amazon Kindle only supports MOBI, AZW3, or KFX formats. That's why we need to convert Nook books to Kindle format. Just like many other eBook vendors, Barnes & Noble also employs a very strict DRM scheme to encrypt their Nook books. Before converting Nook ebooks to a Kindle-supported format, we have to remove drm from Nook books.
To remove Nook DRM, the first step is to download the Nook books to your computer. Barnes & Noble ebooks cannot be downloaded via web browsers anymore. Furthermore, the Nook desktop application has been removed from the Nook server for quite some time, making it difficult for Nook users to download their books. However, with some effort and research, it is still possible to download Nook ebooks to a computer.
The only valid method to download Nook books to a computer is by using the Nook app from the Microsoft Store on Windows 8, 10, or 11. This means that if your computer system is not running Windows 8, 10, or 11, you will not be able to download Nook books to your computer.
1 Get the Nook app from Windows Microsoft store and install it.
2 Login your Nook account and click on "Download" button to download Nook books.
Pro Tips: Where are my downloaded Nook books stored?
The default path for Nook books downloaded from Nook Windows app are stored here: C:\Users\"ComputerUsername"\App Data\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc\LocalState. If you want to find them for removing DRM, you don't need to remember where they are stored because the Nook DRM will auto-detect and display them in the left column of its main interface.
