I was able to get my files via a rooted Android tablet running an older version of the Nook for Android app but that's when I stopped purchasing from B&N.

I believe ZodWallop recently encountered the same issue and was able to find a fix. I skimmed the post with the fix and personally, I find it something that would be annoying to implement when dealing with batches of 20 or more books so I'm sticking to Kobo.
Good to know. When I pass on the info, I will mention that my info only applies to novels and not graphic novels (I don't buy them, so I never think of that! Sorry!). I've had some problems with 2 craft books from Kobo - They accepted the return, but just to alert you that Kobo has some issues as well.
