It is pretty easy to download them and import them into Calibre if you don't want to read them on line. I just had a fiddle and it worked quite easily. (Well it is easy if you have a Mac - not sure with a PC.)

Do they send you a download link or how does this work? Sorry for the n00b question, but I haven't really dealt with B&N much.

Got it, installed Nook for PC and the books were in my library.

Indeed.

<------ Kid at heart!

(I also have a nephew that's learning to read and honorary nieces who are voracious readers.)

Glad to know the mention of the classics was appreciated!

They load to your account on B&N. They will sync from there to a nook device, nook app on PC or nook app on a mobile device. You can also now read them online as well. You can download them from your account, but they have B&N's proprietary encryption on them, so you can't use them on much of anything as is.

ps. If you find any of these that don't work due to affiliate links, let me know. I'm gradually removing those for B&N, since they stopped paying on ebooks (and were actually charging affiliates for the referals). I suspect their affiliate program as a whole will be gone soon (and maybe B&N as well, sadly).

All of the links worked. Thank you for collecting these. I've gotten a number of them from previous promotions, but only a few of these were duplicates. I got 14 books that I had not previously gotten for free (or in the case of Sherlock Holmes, I had previously purchased it).

Hehe... I understand the kid at heart bit.

Yes, much appreciated. 14 free B&N classics is not too shabby...
