As the owner of a Kindle and a nook, I've had no reason to spend any money in the B&N store - prices are either the same or cheaper from Amazon. Being able to shop around is great for the consumer - as a business model, it's questionable. We'll see who ends up at the top of the heap in the end.
Same with library books. Yep, I love that I can put all 11 books in a series I just started on my nook from the library. There's $100 B&N won't be getting from me. And that's just the beginning - I've got a pretty good wish list going. Again, I suspect Amazon's got the better business model. Add that they generally have better pricing (aside from that lovely agency model) and better selection for me, Amazon gets my money for e-books.
