> E-book pricing has become a lot less attractive than it once was.

On top of that you can only get some ebooks from one reseller if you use that vendors reader device because that reseller doesn't support their app on newer versions of Windows any more.

Seriously Barnes and Noble, lots of Nooks are going to be replaced with iPads and Windows tablets. Trying to create a closed ecosystem for the nook by making it hard for me to get my purchased Nook Books on other devices isn't going to change that.

Do your Nook books not work with the Nook readers for tablets and desktops?
B&N discontinued their desktop apps before the release of Windows 10. If you didn't have it installed in Windows 8 or earlier and upgraded to Windows 10, you can't install it, it won't even download from the Windows Store.

It's a little difficult to install it on Windows 8 and upgrade to Windows 10 when your device came with Windows 10 because you just bought it.

The nook books would work just fine, it's getting them that is the problem. When you purchase the books, there is no download option; to read them, they show up on the nook.
