This happened to me with the nook classic 1.5 update. It was a minor pain, I didn't bother downloading all the books, just the ones I'd recently purchased.

27% is a nice chunk. If they can take over at least 33% that would be awesome.

Get, and use, Calibre! Make that your storehouse for all eBooks and you won't worry about B&N going away or everything disappearing.

(FullDisclosure: I have zero interest or involvement with Calibre beyond that of a user and the occasional donation to the project.)

B&N will become the next Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Tower Records, Borders, Virgin Media Megastore...probably within 5 yrs.

I really like Barnes and Noble bookstores. I hope they (along with Borders) come out of this OK enough to remain open.

There's always a bigger fish. One day Amazon will be devoured by the next stage in corporate evolution.

Unless Google backs B&N financially in their fight against Microsoft's patent lawsuit, no buyer is going to touch them with a barge pole. SCO bankrupted themselves with their suit against IBM and Novell. What little was left to sell from the wreck was their software business and bits an bobs, but no one was willing to buy the company as whole.
