Wi-Fi at B&N store
B&N's website says:

While I admit it would be gauche to use a Kindle to buy books from Amazon while browsing the shelves of a B&N store, I wasn't trying to do that; I was trying to read the news (while sipping a chai latte that I'd bought at the store's cafe). Also, it seems rather pointless to attempt to screen Kindles -- IF that's what they're doing -- since I could just as easily buy a book from Amazon while in the store using my netbook or other wireless device (unless they're blocking Amazon on all devices). Anyway ... Your experiences? Your thoughts? |

I've never had a problem being redirected to the B&N website from my laptop. Maybe it was a fluke...maybe, lol.

When you first connect to the wifi at B&N you're required to accept their conditions. My guess is that it was redirecting you to a page to accept their conditions. That's what happens when I log in at B&N with my iPod Touch. I have to check the little box that says I accept their conditions and then I can use my Touch's browser to go anywhere.
