I agree that a few more of the B&N Classics titles would have made the come-on more attractive because the list does cause a big eye-roll, but it's no different from the junk that most of the ebookstores tout as free. Anyone who's been around ereading for even a short while knows how to parse "free ebook".
I'd rather not have the nuisance of erasing the SD card, but it's still something extra that really does have some value. For free.

True, but a 2GB card is, what, $4? $10 at most.
B&N claiming this is a $300 deal is probably what is most annoying to people in this thread. Most folks dislike deceptive advertising and thus like to help inform other consumers that this free deal is free, but isn't worth the $300 B&N is claiming. Nothing wrong with making that clear, imho.
