I downloaded the new B&N eReader software on my computer after it was announced this week. I selected and 'bought' the four listed 'free' ebooks' which requires registration with a credit card. I downloaded them so I could look at the functionality of the software and now they show up in my B&N online library.

Last night while looking at my credit card statement online, I noticed that B&N place a $1.00 charge on the card listing the purchases as 'Pending' (four separate $100 'Pending' charges). I'm hopeful at some point the the 'Pending' is withdrawn and no charge is made, but I thought others might want to know. I'll try to report when this drops into the charged or withdrawn column.
