B&N is off my list because of how annoying they have made it to download ebooks. I'm 'lucky' in that I used Nook Study with my account prior to them abandoning it. It seems new accounts and/or accounts that never used it are locked from it. Granted this is based on only a handful of accounts. And while there are tweaks for older eink Nooks with SD card slots which allow you access to your purchases, the current line up of Nooks prevents it without rooting.
The last I heard they were trying to focus more on being a content provider, which is odd since their actions fly in the face of doing that. Rather they are locking people down to their devices. Although it's hard to keep what B&N is actually focusing on versus what they say they're focusing on, versus what they'll say in two months.
