The unnecessary demise of Barnes and Noble

So the bigger question, if this trend continues and B&N goes the way of Borders ... what happens to all your Nook purchases?

I only have 2 or 3, but I feel like I need to figure out how to rip the DRM off and export all my highlights/notes sooner rather than later.

I've heard from friends that https://calibre-ebook.com is the "go to" solution for this kind of thing

Calibre is fantastic, and open source too! It's primary a library management system with all the features you could ask for, but there are also open source plugins to remove DRM that make it a go-to for creating libre libraries.

It will surely be yet another education on why "DRM is defective by design".

Any of the free (consumer first) content loaded will continue to work.
