http://uk.nook.com/ I've just checked, and they're still using an amazingly bad page to display one's bought books. Oooh! But they do now have a 'Show More' button that might let me actually see all my books at last! And a bit of judicious editing of the URL lets me see 100 books at a time! But it still won't show me more than two or three hundred of them. Sigh. I can get to see them all if I use the nook Study application, so I know they're there. [This thread has prompted me to write to nook customer support again. I suppose it's just possible that they don't realise there's still a problem.] Last edited by pdurrant; 09-14-2013 at 11:05 AM. |

They've told me to download it from my library on the UK Nook website. I've pointed out that that functionality doesn't exist. (Plus, the issue is missing there as well.) Graham Last edited by Graham; 09-14-2013 at 04:59 PM. |

If you log in with your UK user account email and password, you should get access (& be able to download) all your books. That's how I managed to download all my books from nook UK. |

On Nook HD charging cable - Charging over microUSB has some limitations - that includes a USB standard max amperage (I think around 1.5a up / .5amp down).
The Nexus 7 is actually one of the few tablets I've seen that charges on standard MicroUSB. Most tabs have something proprietary. Galaxy Tabs and the like have a proprietary charger. Nook Color had microUSB with a couple of extra pins (to help it charge faster...it takes about 8 hours with a standard .5amp usb cable and the screen has to be off to get more power than it's using). http://www.extremetech.com/computing...our-smartphone Covers it a bit. To charge a battery the size of the one in the Nook HD (6000 mah I think) would take a very long time. The Nexus 7 only has a ~4000 mah battery IIRC. I assume that they wanted HDMI out which is why they didn't go with the Nook Color/HD style cable. faster). iPads use their proprietary connector. Etc. |

Not only was the missing issue of Asimov's there, but so were the missing 160 books transferred from Fictionwise. I can download the epubs and read online. Why on earth is this technology not built into their UK website? Anyway, many, many thanks pdurrant. Graham |

It really is amazing. B&N were so slow moving beyond the USA and now they still seem to be dropping the ball. Good to know that the nook study program still works (and works for UK). I was very surprised when they removed the Nook for PC program. And the odd thing is they don't act like they even know about Nook Study any more. And I can remember only a year or two ago they were promoting it on a large scale.

I see in this week's Barron's that Leonard Riggio disclosed last week that he had sold nearly a quarter of his stake in Barnes & Noble, leaving his holdings at 20%.

All of this gloom and doom makes me want to buy a Kindle for my next ereader purchase.

Personally I knew about the 30pin connector when I bought my Nook HD+s, but I felt the pricing (I bought refurbed ones cheap) and easy CyanogenMod installs made up for it. Didn't really help B&N much, but it was a good deal for me. I am surprised to see people saying Nook for PC is no longer available, as it appears to be downloadable from the US site still. Program still seems to work too, I just ran it and got my latest Analog & Asimov's Science Fiction issues. |

Yes, there's so much doom and gloom around the Nook. B&N need to show a sign that they're committed to their Nook ereaders.
