Because I detect a slight ambiguity...

Yes, I meant that I cannot store my entire B&N/Fictionwise collection on a current Glowlight Nook at one time, and I cannot store my entire Amazon collection on any Kindle at one time, and clearly can't store both collections and all the rest of the books I've purchased at Kobo, Diesel, BOB, Borders, etc. over the years on either one. I also can't install the Kindle app on my 16 GB Galaxy S4 because it requires 1 GB of main memory just to store all of the ebook covers before I even download a single book, and I just don't have the room for it.

I agree that B&N could use some serious customer service lessons, but I don't see any sign of this "can't download books" problem. If I ever had that problem, however, I'd be done with B&N immediately!

Have you ever purchased enhanced (animated) or "Perfect Page" ebooks for your Nook? In my experience, they cannot be downloaded with the older Nook for PC and Nook Study nor the Windows 8/10 application from the Windows App store. According to the Windows 8 App, I have 34 unsupported ebooks (fortunately, I think all were free). It's possible that Amazon or Kobo have ebooks that cannot be downloaded to a PC, but I don't think I've run into one yet.
