I had never used the Read in Store feature before and always assumed you could read any nook book available.

However, I stopped by a B&N store because I wanted to read a book I am interested in, but not willing to pay $12.99 for it and when I searched for it, it just showed me a sample of the book, the same I would get without being in store. I was connected to the store wifi and the only option I saw was browsing "read in store" titles and it only listed a little over two hundred titles. Does this mean I can only read those books and not just any book?

Considering that if you go to the store you can read any hardcopy for as long as you want, this seems very limited. Although a lot of the books available are popular selections, I tend not to read those.
