I read ebooks on my iPad. The Kindle app is annoying but usable. Apple’s

probably never be available. Its ebook reader was not the best, but it was
better than Kindle apps. Barnes &  Noble have killed Nook for Mac and older
Windows and Nook for newer Windows is only available from the Microsoft
store, ensuring that it will never be on one of my machines and that I will
never buy an ebook from B&N.

It appears here

that "Nook" software exists for Apple phones,
tablets, and Apple Watch, and for Android but
no mention of Microsoft Windows - and
Microsoft Store, searched for Nook, seems
to offer only other reader software, or at
least other names.  Like when artificial
intelligence apparently understands what was
asked for, but does not understand that it
doesn't exist.
