I've invested a great deal of money in Nook content. I downloaded it all onto a PC a while ago so I'd have those books no matter what. I've had B&N tell me I hadn't bought a book and erase it from my library, and then reinstate it to my library after I called and went over it with them, and then a year later they mysteriously deleted it again claiming I hadn't paid for it. That was a ridiculously frustrating experience and caused me to lose a great deal of confidence in B&N. Their customer service is pretty horrible, especially when compared to Amazon.
I use my Nook for reading old content, but I haven't bought a new Nook book for a while. If I buy something new, I get it from Amazon and read it on my Kindle. I just don't trust B&N to not take a book out of my library, but I have never had any problem with Amazon and they have such great customer service that I feel like if I did have a problem it would be resolved well and easily.

I'm hoping they CAN sell it and someone else does a good job with it. Just as a complete aside and probably means nothing about a sale, but makes for rumormongering, parts of the author portion of the site (where we upload--but not the actual upload part) was "unavailable" for nearly a week for "data migration." COULD just be regular maintenance. PROBABLY is. But they just did other maintenance about two weeks ago.
