I didn't bother to renew my B&N "membership" (can't remember what they call it) a year after I purchased my first Nook, because it couldn't be used for discounts on ebooks. It was worthwhile for getting a discount on the Nook itself, which is why I originally signed up, and my when we were homeschooling my daughter liked physical books, so that was handy - but as a college student, she's an ebook convert as well (and she chose a Kindle). When I do go into a B&N, I seldom find what I'm looking for. I get emails from B&N constantly, offering me discounts - but they are NEVER applicable to ebooks. When I got to their site looking for a specific book, they're less likely to have it than Amazon is. So I'm less likely to even check them any more, honestly - when I use my Nook I generally read something I've converted to epub using Calibre.
When my first Nook wore out, I did buy GlowTouch, because I got a good deal on it. I'm sorry now that I didn't just go ahead and get a Kindle.
