Your first negative. Do you buy electronic books from there?

The Barne's and Noble bookstore is the only place you can wirelessly buy books from, but it reads PDF's and the standard form (EPUB I think) so you can by from other sources too, you just can't buy those from the nook.  You have to buy them on the PC and transfer them to the nook (which is simple enough, just connect it through the USB cable and drag the file onto it).

The ones I was looking for were some of my old books I wanted to read again I didn't expect them to have, the Dark Elf Trilogy, and a random book I bought a few months ago at Half Price Books I hadn't gotten around to reading yet.  They seem to have all the new stuff and popular stuff.

The only downside is you can't buy books from Amazon and I believe they have the largest selection (though I haven't actually checked out any other places yet so don't know how much truth there is to that).
