Today, my B&N Reader for my Windows smartphone
demanded I download a new version (would not let me cancel and continue to use the old version). Once I downloaded it, my library vanished like it was never there.
Here's the thing: I got the link for the app from here at MR. I called B&N, and they've insisted they've never had a Winphone-based app, so I can find where the app really came from, or sit and spin. But the app can connect to their servers and download books... for an "unauthorized, we don't know who made it" app, that seems pretty serious breach of security, yet they're not fazed a bit about that.
Just the fact that they don't care if I can read my books anymore. And they keep insisting that I can maybe "sideload" the books onto my phone, though without a working app, they can't tell me how.
Here I was, trying to figure out how to orchestrate my return to the ebook scene, books and all. After this, I'm not sure I even want to.
