20 Free Barnes & Noble Classics - Page 3

About half of these books I already had, but I was able to download the newer versions of the same books, so I ended up with two copies of each of those books in my library. However, when I tried to archive the older versions of the books, I got the message "failed to archive" every single time. Anyone else noticed this?

So I finally got around to comparing the B&N Classics in my Calibre library against the website. I have 134 in my library. The website is a bit less than helpful, but I came up with 208 total books in the Classics series, though a few of those do not yet have Nook versions. Here is my list of the 74 I am missing:

And if anyone really wants to compare, here's the list of 134 that I have:

I didn't try this. On some of the duplicates, I compared size against the original or first one and the sizes were the same. So on the new copies of the duplicates I just ignored them and didn't even try to import or replace them in Calibre.

It could be due to the hurricane. I know Sat and Sunday they were having issues. Thanks again for the list. My Searching Barnes and noble classics did not give me some of the ones I wanted. SO you are a lifesaver.

As for putting them in Calibre, you mean for yourself right? The DRM would keep you from giving them to friends still right?
