    Default No more download links?

    I haven't bought anything for my Nook for awhile and when I did recently I noticed that B&N no longer sends a download link and there isn't one on the B&N site either that I can access. I always used to download them to my computer in case my Nook ever went out on me. Plus I liked putting them into Calibre easily. Anyone know wht B&N stopped doing that? I'm bummed.

    I download them into my Nook for Mac, then send them from there to Calibre.

    Honestly, I think it's easier using the Nook for PC software to download NookBooks. I used to download directly from my BN.com library, for the same reason, because I want a backup and I want to add the books to Calibre. But the software is better because it puts the title in the filename, whereas my downloads direct from BN.com just had the ISBN number in the filename. Also, because I'm on dialup, downloads of any books larger than 3MB always timed out, whereas that doesn't happen with the software.
