Free Samples on nook: Broken Functionality

The Barnes & Noble nook allows like many other wireless enabled eReaders the download of samples from virtually any book available in their store. Unfortunately, this functionality is broken.

It's bad enough that they followed Amazon down the path of allowing for the storage of hundreds or thousands of books without allowing sorting via either tags or folders - hopefully this will change soon. But from the nook - there's seemingly no way to remove a downloaded sample. Worse, you can't archive a sample. You can delete the free sample from their website - but when you share multiple nooks under one account with other family members this is not ideal - how do I know if someone else was also done with that sample?
