Funny, but I've read 8 or 9 full books using read-in-store over the last year. I would not feel right doing that with a physical book they plan to sell since the book might show wear over time. Nor would I risk sitting in the Cafe with an unpurchased book with no intent to buy it -- I might spill something on it or smudge it. No worries with the Nook.

Also, one of my local B&Ns has an Indian fast food place right next door that can reach the wifi. I can have lunch and read-in-store. No way to do that with an unpurchased book.

Thankfully, I have the best of both worlds: an unrooted eInk Nook for read-in-store and in-store-coupons, and a rooted NookColor.
