Yes, it is infuriating. I am really ticked off.

I have to wonder about the legality of it. We have bought these books with them having certain features, download-ability being one of them. B&N has taken away from us something that we have purchased. IMHO what they've done is tantamount to theft. If it's not illegal, it should be.

If it is illegal, I hope that someone will bring a class-action lawsuit against them.

Unfortunately, digital things are still relatively new, and the laws still have not caught up to the realities of the digital experience. They're in a state of flux. Maybe what they've done is not illegal--yet.
There was no Terms when I bought 95% of my books from Fictionwise. I could have them in as many formats or download them at any time. For them to take away my books like that yes it feels illegal but as you say unless we all do a class action against them they will get away with it.
