Being forced to use their apps is bad enough, but it sounds like you also have to be connected to the internet to read? No, just no.

I guess you can go sit at the library and read online?
And yes, I agree... on both points. |

Well I will just have to get them epub from Nook now. I am happy that some of the christian publishers on Amazon are starting to replace topaz with KF8 books. So I might not need the epub version much longer.

Heads up! I just read over at DA that's Samhain has pulled their titles from Books on Board due to non payment. We also know Hachette titles are missing from their store just to name a few.
At this point I would be sure to backup all your past purchases. This can't be good but it looks like BOB could be on it's way out. |

Although reading about that makes me wonder if the Hachette titles that are NA or missing altogether have to do with non-payment to some distributor, except it then seems odd that it appears to only affect Hachette titles (distros handle titles from most/all pubs, not one). I may be a contract/agreement issue between Hachette and BoB due to the switch from Agency to non-Agency or a contract thing between Hachette and a specific distro. Quote:

Personal email. Basically said what the post above me says. Something fishy is going on. Somebody ask on Facebook on the 28th I will keep my eye out on their response.

I still have my Download link. We are talking about christianbook.com correct? I was able to download No Safe Harbor, which was a freebie today.
