After you’ve downloaded a Nook ebook, NookStudy will have a copy of the new encryption key. You have to use it to download Nook ebooks. To start, you’ll need to download, install, and activate NookStudy ( get it here).
But if you want to protect your ebooks from B&N’s future bungling by removing the DRM, that’s going to require a little additional work. If you have a Nook app, you can still download and read your ebooks (for now). I can’t yet tell you what the new method is (it looks to be random), but I can report that the actual DRM has not changed, just the method for generating the encryption key. Hot on the heels of the news that B&N has cozied up to the vanity press Author Solutions comes a new report that the retailer has changed how it is implementing its DRM. A reader has informed me, and other sources confirm, that Barnes & Noble has changed how it generates its encryption keys.Įver since B&N launched Nook in 2009, the retailer has based the Nook DRM encryption keys on a customer’s credit card number and name. That technical spec had been inherited from (which B&N got when it bought Fictionwise in early 2009) and enabled users to load their ebooks on to any app or ereader which supported a certain type of Adobe DE DRM (Mantano, for example).īut now B&N is using a new method for generating its encryption keys.
