B & N put a five day hold on the amount of the Nook after I preordered it. When I called yesterday, I was told "it was the bank." When I called the bank today, they said that was nonsense and that B & N had put a five day hold on the money. I called B & N again--she said that the only thing I could do was cancel my order but the money still wouldn't go back into my account until the same time had passed. So do not preorder unless you can spare $282 for five days...

By the way, I preordered Kindles more than once and was never charged until it shipped.
