That surprises me. Kindle has more indies, for sure. But any book B&N would sell in their store *should* have been available online. B&N, Kobo and Amazon always seemed to be pretty evenly matched when it came to Big 5 books you could pick up in your average book store.
One of the benefits of the Nook is that if you take it into the store with you, you can access any book online and read it for an hour, free.

What I really wanted to do was pick up the book, scan the bar code in my Nook app, and have it say "yep, we have that, would you like to buy it". Of course, that was purely a pipe dream.

Yeah, that seems like a feature that would have been easy to implement.
