They won't be able to give discounts on previous books bought, obviously, but going forward, they might be able to make a dent.

If anything, I would this is likely to be another nail in B&N's coffin. Even if they wanted to do this I don't think could actually deliver it. Not with all the complaints I've read about their mixing in store and ebook promotions.
