I just checked today to see if there were any new updates on their site and found the following message AND downloads are no longer working. Very sad.

** Please immediately download any eBooks or audio books you have not yet downloaded **
BooksOnBoard is ceasing all retail operations. Downloads will no longer be available after July 2, 2013. Please immediately download any eBooks or audio books you have not yet downloaded.
Please sign in on the login page to download books you have purchased. Our distributors will no longer support downloads of prior purchases from our site after that date.
Many of our customers are using Calibre or other tools to strip DRM from their downloaded eBooks in order to have them available indefinitely should they change reading devices. This is apparently being done for their personal use and convenience, not for piracy. We are told this is in the spirit of the eBook license and that it is common practice.
We continue to attempt to re-structure to compete more effectively against Goliaths who have entered our marketplace since we first launched in 2006, i.e., Amazon, Apple, Google, Sony and Barnes & Noble.
Thank you for your support of our store over the last seven years during which we have pioneered many innovations with our customers, including the first eBooks for sale on the iPhone. We look forward to serving you again with an exciting new approach soon.
