Yep, the books can only be directly downloaded onto the unit from Barnes and Noble. To get books from Fictionwise or ManyBooks, you must download them to a computer and then sideload them through the USB onto the nook.

Also, the web browser is not usable over 3G anymore, only through WiFi.

If you prefer downloading directly from those sites, I suggest doing more research into which devices are capable. The nook is not.
