I'm sure you've all seen this already

If anyone is interested I can put up a list of the 30 books BN is including.
They come on a 2gig SD card.

*Edit here it is, added a screen shot after conversion

Thanks for the list!

Some classics and the rest, well I'm not so interested so I don't regret to have bought my Nook 2 weeks earlier

I would also like to point out that all of the books seem to be DRM free. At least, I was able to open them, convert, and transfer them in Calibre.

When I bought my STR this afternoon, they hadn't received the 'loaded' SD cards, though they promised to call when they arrive.

Thanks for the list-- not *all* public domain, though not a very sexy collection. Price is right, though, and given how much fixed memory is allocated to BN purchases only, every bit of extra space counts....

Nothing too impressive...a few classics but all in all nothing I have to have. Thanks for posting the full list.

They must be, B&N DRM is linked to your credit card, so they cant prepare the SD card in advance.
Not a great selection, i would prefer a voucher to buy some books of my choosing.
