I can tell you though that stores are being told that sometime soon memberships and gift cards should be able to be applied to ebooks.
Are we sure that the nook isn't proprietary? In that case, you wouldn't have to go buy books exclusively from BN.com, which totally negates the disadvantage of BN.com being more expensive, correct?
They haven't told the stores yet about the file types. I know it can read PDF, but not sure about anything else. I only have a Sony and I'm not really familiar with types beyond PDF, the Kindle and .lrf.

MV, I can corroborate what you say about the lack of knowledge in the stores about the Nook. I went to the BN in DeKalb, IL, last weekend, and I knew more about the device than the clerk did. I think I knew more about it than her manager did, too. Which was kind of embarrassing...
I'm glad about the membership and gift card changes, if they turn out to be implemented.
