I just joined this site and would like to know how you did this as I too have the same problem. A friend has sent me 5 epub files for books and I have the nook for pc but Don't know what to do now. If the DRM was removed I could actually read it from Calibre. The nook program wants my friends email address and password for adobe digital to open and I wont ask her for personal info. Do you have any suggestions.

It is not possible to remove the DRM without that personal info to generate the decryption keys.

None of the drm removal scripts actually breaks the drm, it just removes it using the same keys and algorithms as the official reading software.

I saw one other post with someone reporting this error on the I<3 Cabbages blog, but there were no answers given, and the author hasn't commented on it in a GOOD long while.

Particulars: running Windows 7 x64, python 2.7.1 (32-bit, as per instructions), OpenSSL 1.0.0 (also 32-bit). Also installed pycrypto to see if that would make the difference, but no dice.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the info. My spouse unknowingly purchased books from B&N, for her Sony, and was unable to read them. We thought it was going to be a waste of money, or that she'd have to sit at the PC to at least read them once, Until I found this site via Google.

Now she can keep it on her e-reader Since I found these instructions. You know she wouldn't have gotten her money back for not owning a Nook. Uggghhh!

Thank you!

I purchased almost all of my books with gift cards, do I put the gift card number or my CC #?

If you are using a gift card, your key will still be your name and the default credit/debit card for your account.

Apprentice Alf and Stream Recorder - thank you so much for these scripts and advice. I am now able to use B&N, Sony, Amazon etc to buy books and can read them all on my device of choice and share them with my wife (who uses a different device). I also know they will remain my files and available to me to change / edit / use as I wish. Much appreciated!

TG

PS: to other users - I've also noted some B&N nookbooks are not encrypted - so this apparent error doesn't matter, just go ahead and import them to your reader of choice.
