So some show up empty, some work.

Looks like the problem with samples is that B&N's website isn't providing the epub in the right way, so the T1 browser doesn't recognize it as an epub and won't download it. Feedbooks and other sites that provide the epub directly work, so I have to assume that it is related to the Mimetype or similar information that B&N's servers is or isn't passing along to the device.
