When I do go into a B&N, I seldom find what I'm looking for. I get emails from B&N constantly, offering me discounts - but they are NEVER applicable to ebooks. When I got to their site looking for a specific book, they're less likely to have it than Amazon is. So I'm less likely to even check them any more, honestly - when I use my Nook I generally read something I've converted to epub using Calibre.
When my first Nook wore out, I did buy GlowTouch, because I got a good deal on it. I'm sorry now that I didn't just go ahead and get a Kindle.

My wife renewed her membership (whatever it's called). We save 10% on cheesecake in the Cafe. We do that a couple of times a month, and it pays for itself in a year. The additional 20% off coupons that show up once a month or so allows us to get something from them for almost what amazon has it for (assuming it is not a current top seller).
I'd like to get a good deal on a Glowlight.
