I got my emails around Nov 16th - one for Fictionwise (555 books) and one for Ereader (88) books. I clicked the link to opt in to the transfer to BN and got the same message about getting a code the week of the 19th. I am still awaiting a code to use for the transfer.
I re-downloaded my entire Fictionwise and eReader bookshelves again last Saturday. Except for 8 Lit's and 1 secure eReader title the entire library Did Download this time. I downloaded everything at the start of the Agency pricing had quite a few titles that would not down load! Now to my surprise most everything downloaded even .Mobi titles. I had around 100 titles that had to be manually downloaded from Fictionwise pages via lightning source but they did down load. I plan to resanitze the new fresh downloads again but most of my Fictionwise and eReader titles already sit on my Nook bookshelf via sideloading and Dropbox! I will greatly miss the multiformat titles though. It was convenient to be able to download an already formatted title for different devices without having to do any extra steps. Sigh. I have been expecting this for a while. I guess I too will call BN customer service and waste some minutes of my life never to be regained... lol. |

An hour and a half after I posted this, I got a *new* email from Barnes & Noble with an opt-in link good until December 21 -- and it doesn't work. I'm back to "Sorry, your email address doesn't match our records."

Just got off the phone with B&N support. They are aware that an email went out today and they are aware that it's still broken. He said I should get a new email by the end of the week and that he thought that they would be extending the deadline because of all the issues they've had.

I finally got the email earlier today and yep, "Sorry, your email address doesn't match our records". It's the same address on both accounts.
Was also told there was a glitch with the link and a second email would be forthcoming. Oy. |

I fear expecting any charm from B&N is a recipe for frustration.

I got the first email a while back, got the email error. Saw the info about the link problem, so I waited. Got the second email yesterday. Same email error. Searched for and found the first email I got, used that link and it went through, so now I'm waiting for a code.
I already have all my Fictionwise books backed up in calibre, but I'd still like to have whichever ones will transfer in my B&N account. |

The first time I clicked the link in my one and only email I received, it said I would get an email the week of Nov 19 like a lot of you. I just used the link again and got this message

Either B&N is going to have to extend the deadline or there are going to be a lot of piss-off customers.

I was going to post this quote from their new opt-in screen:

And, like everyone else, I'm still waiting for the promised access code. The one I was originally promised the week of the 19th. And then, after reading the posts here, I clicked the opt-in link from my Fictionwise email again, and got the "coming weeks" promise. |
