Hi. Anna from Bard Tech Support sent me the following regarding transfer of books via iTunes to my iPod Touch fourth gen and my inability to play them after transfer during the shut-down.
"Be sure your iPod Touch has access to the Internet the first time you try to play a book or magazine that you transferred to the app via iTunes. BARD Mobile needs to download an authorization file for each audio book or magazine you listen to, so when you try to play a book for the first time, it needs to get the file. Also, if you haven't tried this since the shutdown, please try again, as there were some problems with BARD during the shutdown that have been resolved since." I haven't gone to get any books lately, but will keep this handy. I know that during the shut-down when I went to the BARD site and added books through the Wish List, things transferred and played as usual; but I didn't have that same luck then when I transferred either via iTunes or Ubidisk.

You won't notice anything unless there's a problem verifying the authorization.
