I actually did it with the Windows version of B&N. A couple of possibilities.
a) You need the Nook to get the ePUB samples (most likely).
b) You need to add/download
initially with Windows Version.
In my cases I had already added/downloaded on the Mac or via a Web Browser.
If someone could list some samples that downloaded as ePUBs, that would be great! While I'm not interested in
The Lost Symbol, I figured it would be ePUB for sure, but no dice. Maybe Opera's new tell all, which should be an
awesome read for a guy!

The advantage of downloading the samples is that you can find out whether or not an epub version is available before purchase. I have a few B&N ebooks that are pdb's even when downloaded to my Nook--apparently there is no epub version available from B&N. (In these cases, I'll usually purchase the epub version of the book from another vendor.)

Indeed, that's why I haven't payed for a book at B&N yet.
