I haven't had an email, and I'm not sure whether to expect one or not. If I never bought a book from them, will they bother to email me?

I take it back. I too can now log in at the US site with my UK email address, and see my UK library. But it's definitely a UK account - I have a separate US account.

So there are still at least two of us. And the FAQs do say that the email should be received before 1st April, so there's a couple of weeks to go before it's 'late'.

Did you have any books in your UK nook account? (Say, transferred from fictionwise?)

I never bought from Fictionwise, and I only got an account when I bought my Nook during the time when they were very cheap.

I just logged in to the US site, using my UK credentials. There are two books and a magazine sample in my library. One book is Pride & Prejudice, which I imagine was a freebie for signing up. The other (The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy) must be one that I bought. I assume it's from my UK account, since I've never had a US account, but there doesn't seem to be any indication of that.

I guess I'll wait and see if an email turns up. I have a local copy of my book, so I don't really lose anything if they forget about me

Totally unsurprising based on what's been going on with the business in general.

Just got my transfer email. I might give it a try later, when I'm not on work time. I wonder what books they think I have? Because I don't think I have any. I guess I could have some PD freebies, in which case I don't really care about transferring them.

Worst case they're giving away £5 off your next Sainsburys eBook purchase, so doesn't hurt to try...

Nice to hear that the emails haven't all gone out before today.

I actually asked, and it seems that there are still a fair few emails to go out, would suggest you contact them yourself though to make sure just in case.

Perhaps I will. I hate to overload an already overloaded department, when there may be no need.

The credit would be very welcome, but I do already have a Sainsburys account (or, at least, I did before they changed their site), so I'm not sure it will apply.

It did for mine...

This was my second email, about the actual transfer process. I had the one about the store closing way back on the 2nd or 3rd of March.

I'd probably be concerned if I hadn't heard anything at all.

Well, I wouldn't, because I didn't think I had a Nook account, but if I thought I should have heard something I'd be mildly concerned.

Well, I successfully guessed my Sainsbury's password, so I went ahead and tried the transfer. It seems to have successfully transferred all 0 books from my Nook account, and it did give me the £5 coupon code, which is pretty sweet. I haven't decided what to spend it on, but there is a £4.99 book I'm about to need for a challenge.

avantman42 · 03-18-2016, 04:06 AM

My email arrived this morning (05:48). I think I'll give Sainsbury's a try, if only to get a fiver's worth of free books
