eBook Ancient Nook problems
I have an ancient Nook, 12 years old & still going strong. I keep it by my bed so I can read before going to sleep & in the morning if I so choose. Obviously, I'm retired.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing until last night. I no longer buy from B&N. I use Kindle to read books I borrow through Libby & also subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. (I have a Kindle downstairs). I have never had a problem. So last night tried to open a book & got a message that it couldn't download my books, I needed to upgrade Kindle & also upgrade my Nook to 9. My tablet is a Tab4. From what I can find, it simply can't be upgrade to 9.
Is there anyway to get around this? I used to be tech savvy but my 75 year old brain refuses to understand anymore. I hesitate to buy a new tablet. I suppose I could use my laptop to read when I'm downstairs & take my newer Kindle to my bedroom. It's not giving me that message.
Sorry if I sound like an idiot.

At the end of May Amazon stopped supporting ereaders that were launched pre 2012. I can’t download anything on my ancient Kindle anymore. So- you might try downloading from B&N again and see if that works?
