Batch downloads possible yet?

So I am guessing I already know the answer to this question, but is batch downloading of NOOK Books a possibility yet?  I have 800+ books on my account (gotta love all the freebies!), but I want to download the ones that I have paid for.  Any way to select multiple books to download all at once?

What are you trying to download to?  A nook, a PC, a tablet?

Good point. My PC. I like to keep backups of my books on there. I can download one at a time easily with the nook application, but it is time consuming.

Nook for PC seems to always download my books to my computer right away simply by syncing.  But, I don't have 800 books to download at once, I usually sync once a week.  So I can't tell you how it would work with that large a library.

You can batch download in NOOK PC.  (I actually think you always could; at least since September 2009, anyway.)

 

Settings-->Account Settings-->Automatically download recent purchases.

 

The app will download all non-downloaded purchases when you click the Sync button.  The download takes a while, but it works...

Awesome!  That is exactly what I was hoping for!  How have I missed it for so long?!?!?  I've had a nook since almost the start!

 

Thank you!
