The "archive" concept is that you delete the book from your nook, but your B&N account remembers that you still own it. It's like deleting the book, except that you can un-delete it later.

It's to help you keep your library less cluttered. I wouldn't archive a frequently-used reference book, but I would archive a novel I've completed if I'm not likely to re-read it any time soon.

If you ever do decide to read it again, you don't have to buy it again; just "un-archive" it, and B&N will let you download it again.

The "Show in my B&N" thing is for a community portal B&N is working on. I guess the idea is that B&N users can share what books they're reading. I haven't used it, though.
