For people living in the U.S., Barnes & Noble is the brand that you can see in the streets almost everywhere, it has the most retail outlets in the USA, and tons of books available for its customers. Moving into the Digital Age, more and more people are joining the eBook community. With so much demand comes naturally supply. Google Play Books, Kindle, Kobo… You can name more. Call it what you want, the retailing giant Barnes & Noble is also joining the game. In 2009, the company published its first e-Reader called Nook, and continued to develop and release a series of other models like Nook Glowlight. What’s more, the company is selling digital books just like others do. Whether you have the Nook tablet or not, Barnes & Noble provides a huge selection regarding eBooks, including some of the bestselling ones. It counts as a nice supplement to Kindle or other e-Reading apps when these rather popular ones don’t have what you want.
Readers can download the Nook reading app for free in Google Play store, App Store or Windows Store in order to read their purchased content offline (Free books and samples included). For online reading, Nook for Web lets you open your eBook directly via your browser.
But since Nook no longer offers updates of Nook Reading apps on Mac and PC , and a Nook Reading app on Mac is currently nowhere to find, the download limits that Nook users face are becoming more. For example, on your Android phone or iPhone, the files that are downloaded are hidden and nearly impossible to be found. And for Mac users, the only option you have is downloading a Windows system in your computer, which is a load of work to endure. So the thought of converting Nook books from EPUB to any formats such as PDF is unimaginable, generally things are getting harder, but you can still find ways to deal with the limitations and back up your beloved eBooks with the help of ours.
The Road to PDF: Removing Nook DRM and More
Step 1. Download Nook Reading App from Windows Store
You can search for Nook in your Windows Store, here and get the item , or go to Barnes & Nobles official website and choose Nook Reading Apps, the website will lead you to Windows Store anyway. It’s the essential tool you’ll need for conversion.
Step 2. Download the books that you want
Like other websites, you need to log in to your Nook account first to be able to see the content that is linked to your account. After logging in, the books that you have added before will show up automatically in your library.
To download the content, simply click the cloud icon attached to the book, and the progress will start. The downloading progress will be displayed on the left side of the book. If there is no such icon, then it means that this book is already downloaded, you don’t have to do it again now.
Step 3. Remove Nook DRM
Yes, you read it right, there’s this thing called DRM that we should cope with if we want to transform a Nook file into a PDF. Its full name is Digital Rights Management, and is meant to protect the legal rights of the publishers of the book. You can understand it as a code encrypted to the book, and you need to decipher this code if you want to make changes or print out the book, like things you normally can do with a PDF file or any other non-DRMed files.

After downloading is successful, and the installation is complete, you are about to start. Launch Epubor Ultimate and then a window will emerge, which is generally to let you know that you can buy a full version of this program. For now, just ignore it, because you can still try converting 20% of the Nook book if you don’t buy the program. Feel free to come back and make a purchase later if you find Epubor useful.
Initially, Epubor Ultimate will detect Nook books that have already been downloaded in your computer . These books will display in the left column. In case this auto-detection didn’t turn out well for you, you can manually follow the path: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\BarnesNoble.Nook_ahnzqzva31enc\LocalState to take a look at your current storage, and drag the file onto Epubor’s interface. Alternatively, you can right-click the file and choose to let Epubor open it.
Step 5. Change the Output Format
You can change the output format as PDF at the section down below. Choosing to convert a Nook file, which is originally in EPUB format, means that you want a more realistic reading experience, for PDF shows the digital book exactly as they are in reality. It also means that you are choosing a form that is more suitable for printing out, since the printout will of PDF will essentially have no difference than a printed book that you see in real life. As for safety concerns, PDF is harder to be altered, so if you want to back up business files, PDF format will be your go-to. With all being said, you now might be more aware of your own situation, and more sure of converting Nook to PDF.
Next, drag and drop the files in the right area of Epubor’s interface and the program will start decrypting. Double-clicking the files that are in the left column or dragging them from left to right leads to the same results. There will be a Decrypted sign shown when decryption is done.
In the end, you have successfully converted a Nook file to PDF against all odds. It is perfect for printing out, and on your screen it looks exactly like a paperback book in reality. Moreover, the decrypting progress costs only a few seconds.
