Barnes & Noble has quietly discontinued support for their Nook for PC and Nook for Mac applications.
Reads the company's email to users:

We are no longer supporting NOOK for PC for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To enjoy the NOOK content on your PC please use the NOOK for Windows 8 App or NOOK for Web. [ link ]

The moves are none too surprising, given that B&N stopped updating the apps in November 2011 and March 2012, respectively.
At the same time, Barnes & Noble has reduced the price of their Nook+ HD to $149, $120 off the regular price as they practically give the tablet away.
