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.

Depending on where you purchase - your ebooks stay at the vendor until you download them.
My experience with B&N is rather limited. I purchased a nook and a few books but returned the nook. The books I purchased I did
on the nook but I did not see a corresponding d/l on my computer. Maybe I did it wrong? *shrug*
As I am boycotting Agency6 publishers, my need for B&N is rather small now.
My kobo purchases go directly to my phone app - but if I want an epub and not a kepub (to put in Calibre) I have to d/l directly from the site.
My smashwords, baen, losed id, ellora's cave, ARE, harlequin, etc purchases go nowhere unless I do something. I get an email with a d/l link.
