I downloaded several of the B&N Classics because thy have the essays and commentary. I love that stuff.
Also, because these titles come from B&N, they will go in my B&N folder in the nook rather than in my harder-to-control My Documents folder.

I wish the publishers and e-book publishers would get their acts together. Still, it must be a legal nightmare. Even public domain texts aren't in the public domain in all countries. Several years ago, while U.S. citizens were was able to download most of Algernon Blackwood supernatural stories from legal public domain sites, a British anthologist on a mailing list pointed out that in the UK, those stories were still under copyright. He complained that he couldn't include one of those stories in one of his print anthologies without paying ridiculous amounts to Blackwood's estate. All because while Blackwood wrote his most famous stories many years ago, he lived a looong life.
