I love going to Barnes and Noble. Go there at least once a week for at least 30 min. Almost every time I'm there I get a beverage from their cafe.

A salesperson showed me the Read in Store feature of Nook 2. But the cool thing is the coupons, such as for beverage, that show up when you bring a Nook to the store. This is really great! I can imagine bringing Nook 2 into the store, reading one hour of something, enjoying a drink, maybe buying an ebook if it's any good.

So my questions are:
- How many people bring their Nook into the stores? I haven't seen any in the wild, only in captivity (display models).
- Do the Read in Store work well? Any limitations set by publishers?
- What happens if you root the Nook (or Nookcolor for that matter)? Do the Read in Store still work? Do the special offers still show up?
- Does the Read in Store or Special Offers work for Nook apps on Android or iPad? So instead of bringing a Nook I bring in a tablet.
