One of the benefits of the Nook is that if you take it into the store with you, you can access any book online and read it for an hour, free.



Yeah, that seems like a feature that would have been easy to implement.
That wasn't my experience, at least not back when I was still playing around with the B&N online store. This was before the big indie movement. yea, I found it surprising as well, but that's what I found.
