But I just signed up for an account yesterday... I did find it strange that the books I looked at were unavailable when I tried to purchase.

What I don't get is they didn't sent out a email or anything! No posts on their Facebook page either. If it hadn't been for someone here I wouldn't of checked it and say I could of lost purchases if I've yet to download them.
That is not acceptable. Every other store that closed gave us a warning. |

Who? Never heard of them. BOB isn't some small store. They send out newsletters and have a Facebook page. It's still no excuse for not letting their customers know.

OTOH, if I had known last weekend, I would have bought a heck of a lot more at 40% off! I figured there's always another sale. There's a lesson there; if the price is as good as it's going to get, no point in postponing until the next sale. |

Aw, had started using them for some epub purchases.... might need to consider Kobo instead but I just am not too keen on the storefront for them. Hopefully not the end of BoB and we'll see it come back, doesn't sound too promising though

Back in 2007? when PaperbackDigital closed it was a pretty big deal for quite a few folks. They just one day put a graphic up on their website indicating they were closed and that was that. |

Books On Board
I understand that they carried more than Romance Novels, but you couldn't tell that from all their emails or their web site home page. I never bothered with them because they appeared to lack any interest in providing the kind on reading material I am interested in. Luck; Ken |
