You also need a credit card on the account to fully register. I guess I got a pass because my old credit card info had been good when it was added even though its now expired.
It is true that they refused to give me their freebies, but since these were pretty much public domain classics I could legally find for myself elsewhere, I wasn't fussed. They don't have any free word games for the Nook STR to tempt me into updating my info. (It doesn't play any. Sniff) They'll just have to wait until I get around to buying something else from them. Broke as I've been lately, that may be awhile! lol
