B&N is already starting badly in my view. I permit their 'sale spam' to go to a throw-away email that I only occasionally look at. This morning, while cleaning it out, I noticed a online 20% sale coupon and thought about using it to buy an ebook from their new store. But NOOOOO....the 'View Details' link made it clear it couldn't be applied on ebooks:
