The Barnes and Noble website says this exactly.
*******************************
Come in to any Barnes & Noble store and show us your old eReader. When you buy any NOOK, we'll give you 30 FREE books to start your NOOK library - a $315 value!

I went to a Barnes and Noble store to do just this. The first thing the staff does is look on a list. If your e reader is not on the list, they will not let you upgrade to a NOOK. They are targeting only certain e readers. The website is misleading.
So the offer is not just for any e reader, it must be on their list. The staff called Barnes and Noble service to determine that mine was not on the list.
So you be the judge. It seems that something is wrong.

I've noticed that their ads for Nook promotions do tend to be on the vague side. Like the Angry Birds thing. The little blurb I got on my Nook Color said to come in and download it, because it was only in store. However,you have to sit there and play angry birds and it just shows up, apparently. Only thing was, never showed up for me.
Also had problem with the new cafe coupon..it shows up in the store at home. Yet, when I'm on wi-fi in store, the coupon disappears. I hadn't clicked on the coupon early either- the girl said it'll disappear if you do that. The girl behind the counter also said that's happened a few times.
While I like my Nook Color, I'm not impressed with the promotions. I think they're a little shady and meant to get you into the store.
