<<I do this myself. I go on shopping sprees and then later go back and download my purchased books. Cause what good are ebooks if I can't enjoy the flexibility of them. Sometimes I don't d/l until I'm ready to read. Sometimes I d/l only when I'm at certain computers. Sometimes I NEVER d/l and read online (see Smashwords).>>

Wait, I just re-read this and don't understand. Do you mean that you can purchase an ebook and it doesn't go anywhere? When I buy an ebook from Amazon, I choose where I want it sent: to my Kindle, my wife's Kindle, my desktop app, or my laptop app. I can go back and send more copies to other places, but initially, it always goes to some device or app.

But with (presumably) B&N you can purchase an ebook and it sits in your library until you download it to somewhere?

And...if you've bought my book, and you haven't downloaded it, and it's in your library, and then I stop selling at B&N, it disappears from your library? Do I have that right?

I'm just trying to get the facts straight, as someone who has no experience buying ebooks from B&N.
