I switched over to B&N after Fictionwise carried their last issues of Asimov's and Analog. It's been quite a long time since I had that problem with the Nook for Mac app and I searched online for a fix, that's how I found out about the Nook Study app. I'm not sure, but I think the problem with downloading with Nook for Mac was only with Asimov's and Analog (the only mags I get from B&N). I now download all my books from B&N with the Nook Study app as well, I haven't tried downloading direct from the website - so not sure if that would be possible or not with the mags.

I just did the upgrade to the annual subsc. combo. that cromag just told us about, so my previous monthly subsc. combo. was cancelled. Now my account says there is a problem with my order and I need to contact customer service. So, I need to get that all figured out.

I'm up to date with downloading my previous issues onto my computer and into Calibre, but I can't check for back issues now because I just did this Annual combo. subscr. upgrade and the previous subscr. was cancelled (there are now just 4 previous issues showing up in my Nook Library online, probably because in Oct. 2013 I cancelled my 2 separate Asimov and Analog subscriptions and did the monthly combo. subscr. deal mentioned back in Oct. 2013).

I assume if you go with the annual subscription and keep it going, the issues will remain in your account (I'm not sure though), and the annual subscription combo says it also comes with 12 back issues. There's a 14 day trial for new subscribers if you want to test it all out. It's probably good to always have back-ups saved every month anyway. I don't take any chances since Books on Board and Fictionwise went under, plus B&N never transferred any of my SF mags from Fictionwise over to my B&N library.

So, that was a very long winded and convoluted way of saying "I don't know for sure" to both of your questions!
