Fictionwise Book transfer
I still have not received the transfer of my Fictionwise books into my Barnes & Noble Account. I called B & N in April and they said they were running behind they should be sent within the next 10 days.
Well, it is 12 days later and no email from B & N. Are others in the same boat? Has anyone got their Fictionwise books? |

I registered the day they announced it. Still waiting. Chased it several times with no response. A select few have actually had success, so the process is trundling along, but it's beyond belief that it can still be so sluggish after 6 months!

I have got my books transferred. That's to a UK account. And I know that some people with a US account have had their books transferred.
I suspect that my transfer happened because I chased it by phone. |

Nope, my books haven't been transferred and other than an initial email about it, haven't heard anything since.

After 6 months I did get my books transferred. However they ignored the email address I updated on my Fictionwise account and moved the books to an old email address. So my books got transferred, but I still can't access them since my nook is set up on a different email. I called to ask about merging them into my actual B&N account and they politely refused. So for me the entire Fictionwise transfer was a frustrating fiasco.

Fictionwise book transfer fail
I have purchased 160+ books through eReader, 60+ through Fictionwise, and another 50+ through eBookWise (270+ in total). None have ever transferred to my Nook account or devices.
In November 2012, I got the initial email. On December 6, 2012, I got the access code, and redeemed it online. I got the message: "Items are being added to your library. Your access code is being redeemed, and your items will be available in your library shortly." In February, I started calling. I have called 21 times (each call is logged in my journal, along with agent name and the name of the supervisor that I inevitably get transferred to. Their responses include:
Does any of this sound familiar? Has anyone gotten to see transferred books in the online library or anything other than the Nook device? Does it make a difference whether it was orginailly purchased on eReader, Fictionwise, or eBookwise? Oh, and while I didn't check all 270+ books, of the 80+ I did check, not a single one appeared on the "will not transfer" list. |

Although only on Nook for Mac and Nook Study have I been able to see all 1300+ items. On my Nook SimpleTouch GlowLight, I can only see 255 items. That does seem a very suspicious number (2^8-1). |

Wow, I had totally forgotten about this, until I saw this thread. I have never bought an ebook from B&N and have 1313 books in my account so I guess they transferred everything. :-) Even my Alfred Hitchcock, Analog, etc issues transferred over.
I had no clue how many books I had bought at Fictionwise, but those 60-100% rebates they had at times were unbelievable. I still miss the heyday of FW. |

Just checked my library and found that my fictionwise books have transferred across. It has only taken ~6months (and several phone calls)! Haven't checked my reader or tablet yet to see how they appear as I am not in a Wi-Fi area. Woohoo!

None here either. Even buying 2 £29 Nook Simple Touches failed to trigger it into life.
