It's possible that any books no longer offered by the publisher have been removed, and B&N hasn't bothered to figure out what those are or even announce to customers, "ebooks no longer being published will not be transferred."
The
Dorchester saga is long and convoluted. They were selling books without paying author royalties for some time, and continuing to sell them long after the authors reclaimed their rights. Booksellers refused to remove the books when informed of claims of copyright infringement--or they removed them, and Dorchester said "we have the rights for that!" and they went back up.
