The sales history point is the only one that is even close to valid.
I would agree about the second point. It's impossible to say how a customer's perceptions would have been changed by the knowledge that B&N was required to send the email.

I would have preferred that the customer have to "opt-in" rather than "opt-out." There will be a great many that won't see the email at all. They may either overlook it or the spam filter will intercept it. If it must be "opt-out," B&N should at least be required to send a snail-mail letter to the customer's physical address.
