At this point the only thing I've got going on with B&N is my joint subscription to Analog and Asimov's. They download fine with the Greasemonkey script and are sold without DRM (at the request of the publisher) so I have no problems. Unless they offer a book for substantially less than any competitor, I probably won't be using them for new purchases/downloads.
They rarely offer books cheaper, but when the prices were the same the old Barnes & Noble had a substantial "convenience" edge -- I could download through the browser on my Linux netbook, run it through Calibre, and put it on one of my readers, all in one smooth sequence. With Kobo I have to use my Windows PC, unless it's DRM-free. And, of course, I have to use my Windows PC with Amazon.
