Nook for PC – B&N discontinued Nook for PC along time ago, but you can still use it to access your Nook books and download them to a Windows computer. Nook Study – This is an alternative desktop program that works for downloading Nook books to a Windows or Mac computer. Enhanced NOOK Books, magazines, apps and kids' books have richer content and are typically larger in size than NOOK Books. Because of this, downloads for that type of content will take longer than a typical trade book.
Download Nook Books to Mac
I've had a Nook since they were first released and I have amassed hundreds of books. Given some of the things B&N has done in the past and more recent news, I'm very skeptical about their longevity and would like to download the books to my computer. I know they removed that option a long time ago, but I have the app on my iPhone and was wondering if anyone had found a way to move them from your phone to your computer? I've read that it's possible, but I don't see any way to do it. Can anyone help me out? I'm really distressed at the idea of not having access to all my books except through an app on my phone.
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.

Not happy with the new update!
Before the update you could see the cover of all the books you had available to read in your library. Now you have to scroll through either by author or title and click on each to see them. Of course you can see recent ones that way, but I want to see all my books like it was before. Plus I have to do this with all my archived books also which takes forever if you can’t remember who wrote it or the exact title. I do not understand why they had to change that aspect of the app. Bring that option back, please!! Ok, they let me know I could view them that way by title or most recent, which is good, but why take away the choice by author? For those of us that read a lot this seems like a crazy change to make, this is a reading app after all, anything available in title should be available in author also(the same format). So, still no 5 stars because of that. Don’t understand why you changed that option:(
Thank you for listening and adding back the choice to search by author or title with the book cover. I am very happy!! You get your 5 stars back:)
Developer Response,
Hi JAMarsh65, you can still view your Library items by cover -- all you have to do is open the sort/filter menu (tap the bolded text along the top left that likely says “All Types by Author”) and Sort By “Most Recent” or “Title.” You can also change to Filter By 'Archived,' to view just the items you've archived. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Support team or visit the FAQs for tips and tricks on getting the most out of the new experience.
Getting better but still needs work
When I started this review, I was more glad (see next paragraph) than I am now. Every update seems to decrease function and, today, no txt appears for any book I open. I may be finished trying to make it work. Sorry I recently purchased several new titles!
Glad to have Nook on my iPad but wish maneuvering through the app wasn't so clunky. Not close to ease of Nook device but still better than earlier version. Why the app can't let you purchase but the device can is unfathomable. Other reviewers have mentioned the inconsistent sync function which appears to have gotten worse: why can't you fix this? Your tech support doesn't take the time to read the question being asked and makes useless, futile suggestions. Had thought I wouldn't change because I have too many titles to use different one, today's experience may have convinced me to move on.
My final comment relates to the inability to utilize coupons for Nook purchases. The price fixing on e-books is a disgrace. The only advantage is portability and it does not outweigh the cost differential and the inability to lend any book I own to anyone I wish. Technology has bypassed common sense again!!
Developer Response,
Hello Too old to tap! It sounds like you are suffering from the rare “blank pages” issue. We have identified this as being due to a bug in Apple’s iOS 12. It is not related to the NOOK app update. Please power off and power back on your device and this should resolve the issue.
Unfortunately, allowing purchase within the app is an issue for most companies that sell digital content on iOS, not just NOOK. Until that situation changes, we are doing the best we can by allowing you to shop and add to your wishlist. Then access the same wishlist via BN.com to complete your purchase. We hope this helps!
APP Support needs improvement
I have had few problems with the app and I am relatively sure the they are acting on crashes that generate dump data but when I run into non-crash problems: there have been two recently (1) portion of text after end line hyphenation not displaying for certain font sizes, and (2) app freeze to an unresponsive colored screen that I had to reload the app to clear, the responses I get from support are canned. Yes, for most users it might be what they need to clear the problem but I already said I fixed the problem. I am giving information about the problem, for (1) how the app developers can reproduce it, and for (2) everything I tried and failed to clear the problem and as much information about the circumstances and behavior I can gleam. I have been a software engineer longer than probably any of the app developers have been alive and I know the importance of information rather than a simple it's broke or doesn't work. However, I do not get any feeling that my support e-mails are leading to to any bug investigation or fixes.
