For everyone who is pissed at Barnes & Noble...
...because they won't let you download ebook files to your computer anymore, for copying onto your Nook & eventual archiving on your external hard drive.
like me.
Go to Books-a-Million.com.
They've got their own proprietary BAM-reader software, which can be loaded onto both your computer and your Nook.
It is a bit of an Adventure to get it set up, but their Customer Service folks are very patient.
The book-file can be downloaded to the computer AND to the Nook, for reading on either device, and the file downloaded to the computer can be archived on the external drive.
Even better, they don't force you to pay for Each.Book.Individually. the way B&N does.
BAM allows you to run a shopping cart, and pay for the whole stack with one checkout operation.
This is only necessary, of course, if you are NOT shopping at Baen Ebooks, or Smashwords, or other sources that DO let you download the ebook files properly.
I am now going to go replace thee B&N bookmark with one for BAM on my bookmarks bar.
