If you buy e-books from Barnes and Noble, you can download and read them on your Apple iPad with the free Nook app. After you sign in to your account, all the Nook books you purchased in the past are displayed in the app library. Unfortunately, at the time of publication it isn't possible to purchase new books from within the app, but you can buy new books from the Barnes and Noble website using any Web browser, including Safari on the iPad.

Downloading Nook Books
Nook for PC/Mac can’t help download books any more. What’s worse, from last year (I’m not sure from when) Nook official site stated that they will no longer support updates to Nook for PC/Mac. Jul 2, 2016 - I used to use Nook PC to download and transfer these books to Calibre. My PC is becoming unreliable, and I have replaced it with a Mac.
Step 1
Confirm your iPad is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Launch the 'App Store' on your iPad. Tap 'Search' and type 'Nook' in the search field. Select the 'Nook' app by Barnes and Noble. Tap the 'Free' button and enter your Apple ID password if prompted.
Step 2
Launch the Nook app when it finishes downloading. Enter your Nook username and password as prompted. The app displays the covers of all the books, magazines and newspapers you have purchased.
Step 3
Scroll through the list of books to find the book you are looking for. You can filter the displayed list by tapping the 'All Items' button and selecting 'Books,' 'Magazines,' 'Newspapers,' or 'Archived.' You can also search for a book by tapping the 'Search' field in the upper right corner and then typing its name.
Step 4
Tap the 'Download' button at the bottom of any book cover. The button turns into a status bar indicating the progress of the download.
Step 5
Tap the book to open it when the download is completed.
Step 6
Tap and hold any book listed in your library if you want to delete it from the iPad. As you hold down your finger, an 'Archive' or 'Delete' option appears. Select an option. You can download the book again later if desired.
Purchase new books from the Barnes and Noble website after logging in to your account on any Web browser, including Safari on the iPad. As soon as the book is purchased, it should be visible in the app. Tap the 'Refresh' button on the app if the new book isn't visible.

Sign in to the website and select 'My Account.' Ensure that your payment method is up-to-date. For example, if your credit card has expired, you need to update this information.
Tap the 'Refresh' button in the Nook app on your iPad. If you can see the book but can't open it, tap and hold the title and select 'Delete' or 'Archive.' Try downloading the book again.

Barnes and Noble has just removed the ability to download eBooks that you have bought from the online Nook Store. They did this so users could not download purchased content locally on their PC and either strip it of the encryption or use a 3rd party reading app.
The Barnes and Noble customer care division has sent out a tweet, letting people know that this is their new policy and not a bug. “The ability to sideload NOOK purchased content has been discontinued. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
If you own a Nook e-reader or tablet, you will continue to enjoy purchasing and reading books right on your device. Ditto for people who use the official Nook app for Windows, Android or iOS. This issue mainly affects people who use an internet web-browser and accesses their Nook Library. In the past, a download option would appear, but now this has been removed.
There are some rare cases where select eBook titles still have the download button, but include the text “We’re working on making this title available on NOOK for Web. In the meantime, read it on our free NOOK Reading Apps.” I also confirmed that graphic novels still have the download button, because they are currently incompatible with the Nook for Web HTML5 based e-reading app.
The elimination of downloading titles to your PC will mainly affect the “power users” that tend to use 3rd party e-reading apps for their mobile devices or strip the DRM completely and bypass Nook security. It does not matter if you bought the e-books at full price or utilized a Barnes and Noble promo code to purchase it.
Barnes and Noble is currently in the process of totally revising their website for purchasing content and also the way Nook books are presented. In early 2015 it will be formally unveiled and likely this change to downloading content is likely a precursor to reading everything exclusively online.
