Yeah, the nag screen is slightly annoying, if only because it assumes you are an idiot (and since it only went up after the Kindle was on Oprah, I'm sure it's an assumption needed at the store). At least it isn't as annoying as the process at BoB (and yes, I still buy at both):

Click to checkout.

Click the "yes, I know you won't email them, let me continue" button.

Click the checkbox that I really know what I am doing.

Enter the amount of rewards to use (making sure It is no more than the total amount, as despite their help/faq page's opinion, you can accidentally give them back extra rewards and then they are gone). Click the apply button.

Click the button again that says I know what I am doing, once the page redraws.

FINALLY, click on the check out, no really, it's checkout for REAL button.

Click on each book, one at a time, to download (no bulk download allowed).

Check your email and send in for any rewards.

Watch your email for several days, resubmitting the rewards request daily until someone there actually does their job (this can take three or four requests and most of the week, if they are busy).
