So I'm now looking for another place to purchace books even though I have a NST maybe it is also time to purchase a new reader as well ( I would like one of the new front lit ones ). Maybe I need to take a look at that new KOBO reader.
I use Firefox with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Netbook. The last time I bought a book at B&N -- a couple of weeks ago, I guess -- it downloaded fine.

I don't plan to buy a new book just to test it, but I do hope this isn't a new move on their part.
