Interesting that you can now put ebooks in your shopping cart. You can turn on "instant purchase", but then it really is immediate -- no confirmation step like they used to have. Since B&N CS probably wouldn't do a refund, I turned that back off right away to help prevent mistakes. The shopping cart is a bit of a pain (especially if it's only one book), but better safe than sorry.
ETA: The new website seems like a huge disruption for no improvement that I can see. I'm wondering if someone will be able to write a new Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script.

Yup, it was the CVC for my default credit card, but their new website doesn't make it clear. B&N still seems to have a semi-logged in state, where it knows who you are, but you aren't logged in sufficient to look at your Nook library or buy a book. I think that now you can check to see if you already own a book by adding it to your shopping cart when you're only semi-logged in, which I prefer over having to log in and discover that I own it, but it's still not as user friendly as Amazon where they list when you bought it if you are viewing an ebook or application.
