Barnes & NobleEarlier this month, I reported that Barnes & Noble had removed the install files for Nook for PC and Mac.

Well, now they’re back. Although Barnes & Noble has said they aren’t supporting the apps anymore, something made them decide to make them available again.

Hue and cry, perhaps? Without an actual Nook, it’s difficult to read Nook books without the apps. Although there is a Nook for Web, lots of books are not viewable through it. My guess is that enough readers protested the loss of access to their books that B&N felt they had to respond by putting the apps back.

I’m not getting rid of my backup copy of the install files, however. Just to be safe.
