I'm probably wrong about it being Rocket - I had that one, and the books were .rb format - which I still have but no way to do anything with them. This was the one sold by Fictionwise that was just like the Rocket, and the books were bought for it - my understanding is that is the DRM format used for them. I'm trying to get them from the Fictionwise site - all of the Rocket books were purchased from the Rocket site. The only reason I can say OEBFF is that the books on my bookshelf at Fictionwise actually say that as the format - Secure OEBFF.
Hmmm. Fictionwise is showing part of a "default ereader unlock code" that appears to include a credit card number. I suppose it is possible that somewhere in there I changed CCs and that is why the bulk download is not picking those up... I have NO idea how I'd figure out what that code was, if so.
I'm very disappointed in B&N execution of this - one gets the impression that most of one's books can be saved, but it certainly is not so.
LATER: No, those secure OEBFF books refuse to download. I did find some other unlock codes to use, but they don't download in bulk, and on the bookshelf there is no option to download. Says Secure OEBFF Download Enabled, but nothing to do to get it to download. Continuing to work on this...
STILL LATER: per some stuff mostly on old MR entries, this format is specific to the Fictionwise 1192 reader, should have a .imp extension, and (apparently) cannot be downloaded anywhere except to the reader that is linked to the account. Which reader is long gone, of course.
