Ugh! I just saw this actually on one of my newsfeeds. Sure enough I go to my barnes and noble account and there is no download button next to the books. I hardly use b&n except when someone gets me a gift card. I have a kindle and use amazon primarily. I so however use calibre and disinfect each and every book I purchase. I am so glad I did this with the books I bought at b&n so I didn't really lose anything because the 20 books I did purchase there, are safe in my calibre library but it still is frustrating. Do they even realize how many readers they are going to drive away. I for one am not purchasing anything from them anymore and I will make sure my friends and family now know that I don't use them anymore. They lost my business, too bad. Not really a loss for me though. I guess this is a lesson in why it is sooo important to make each purchase really your own by running it through calibre and freeing it. I would have been screwed had I not done that as there were a few of those books I hadn't read yet.
