I've got about 8 months to go through before I can test that out . I'll probably forget all about it by then.
I 'bought' a free book from B&N Oct 31. When I checked the file it did not have the usual .epub extension and I could not get the book to open. My credit card was expired so I updated it. I had 'bought' free books in the past with this outdated credit card with no problem.

The book would not open in Calibre. Gave me the message that it was DRM protected. I had to go into the plugin and reenter my credit card info even though the only thing that changed was the expiration date, the name and number were the same. After I updated the plugin I was able to open the book in Calibre.
