B&N New Library Page
OK, I'm going to say it: I don't like the new B&N library pages. I especially don't like that I have to re-sign in every 10 minutes (seems like) because it's got the same security system as my bank.
I've been buying largely from B&N because I started with them and it's nice to have all my books in one place and I used to REALLY like their online library management, but now they've changed it and I can't stand it. *sob* Am I the only one who doesn't like the change? Does anyone know how to get it to cookie me up for longer than 10 freaking minutes? |

Until I saw your post, I hadn't even noticed. But I only go in every now and then and download any books I haven't downloaded previously and move them into "Archive". So since they still have the "new" and "archive" available separately I'm OK.

I hadn't really noticed but I don't usually browse their website much. I normally spend more time on Amazon - it's more familiar to me and easier to navigate, so I find what I want there then do a search for a Nook Book on that title and then click the link.
I did spend some time at B&N today buying and yes, I did have to log my password in more than once so I guess I'm not 'cookied up' either. If I want to check something in my B&N library, I generally use the Nook for PC app. |

The only thing I buy from BN is magazines for my Nook Color - it used to be that the library on the website would tell you the date you'd receive the next issue, but it no longer does so.
It took me *days* to finally get my last knitting mag - I wouldn't have had to spend so much time trying to download it if I'd known what day to expect it. I'm not happy, either, but for a different reason, anamardoll. |

I'm not a big fan either.
I used to have my password saved etc, and now I won't even have that. Also getting to the Archived books/wish lists aren't that great either. |

I don't like it much, either. I miss having the date purchased available, and I wish the library page would show the sample books separately like it used to.
The new library page definitely needs a search function, too. |

Wow, they did change it.
I don't think it's too terrible (once you click "Go to Library), but I did also like knowing when I purchased a book... Looks like I'll have to use my order history for that :/ |

Which, considering that they're listed by Order Number and without any description unless you click on that number, will be a pain.

On the brighter side, actually managing the important aspects of my library is quite a bit more responsive than the old page!

I do the same thing as you with samples. On my Nook and Nook Color, I do have shelves for the samples, but that means I have to remember to put the samples there when they show up on the devices! |
