I know the theory, but I got the same problem that a lot of other people get, going by the comments on the site with the instructions. But it's not a big deal, I was just trying out a new (to me) writer so there's no loss to me if I can't read it. But it has put me off buying from Barnes & Noble. The last ebook I bought from them didn't have any DRM, but if it is on free books now it will almost certainly be on pay books too and there won't be any warnings before you buy them. Or refunds for ebooks that I can't read.
