I'm not saying that they should alter their billing system for a single order, but that they should change their billing system
entirely! As I pointed out in my post, not all merchants do this, Amazon certainly hasn't. I should also point out that I do not have a Nook on pre-order, nor do I have any plans to do so. My interest here lies in the fact that I work at a credit union and I have seen many of the unsavory billing practices that companies big and small use on unsuspecting consumers.
