Also, the covers for the books do not display on the B&N store (and there's certainly nothing about the art content to hide them).

It may be an issue between B&N and Smashwords, and how the books are being accessed/uploaded. I'll see what I can find out.

Edit: I've looked a little further. I see The Onuissance Cells is in the B&N store, and it does have a cover. However, I just noticed the site gives absolutely no description for the e-books... any of mine, and including Black Silk. Pretty pointless to have books with no covers, no descriptions, that you can't download, huh?
Ah, just goes to show that you don't understand the principles of Marketing. This stratagem allows B&N to announce that there are 500,000 free books on their website.
