Barnes and Noble Gift Cards Will be Usable for eBook Purchases 2 comments
I have speculated before that after the holidays there may well be a number of nook ereader owners that are disgruntled with the Barnes and Noble ebook store, leading to some backlash if B&N doesn’t fix some of the problems. There is already some evidence of this in the B & N forums, and the nook is not even out yet.
Barnes and Noble apparently found yet another way to antagonize their customers – gift cards are not usable for purchasing ebooks at this time. This means that if you gift a nook ereader and wish to add a gift card for the purpose of stocking it with reading material it won’t work for that. There are some reports that B&N salesclerks are not aware of this and are cheerily suggesting gift cards to go along with your nook ereader gift.
Barnes and Noble has heard the complaints, and has announced that beginning in mid-December gift cards and online gift certificates will be allowed for the purchase of ebooks either online or through the nook ereader and on other devices using B&N’s eReader software.
That’s one problem solved; now if they can do something about their ebook pricing and the inferior selection of non-public domain titles offered in their ebook store.
Barnes and Noble also announced that their ebook store will be available in Canada around the first of December. At the present time the nook ereader is not available in Canada, but if you do have a nook in Canada you will be able to sync it with your B&N eBook library on your computer or access their ebook store via Wi-Fi. Canada is still a glaring omission in the Kindle ereader’s international coverage, though Amazon is working on this.

Arriving this afternoon, our two Kindle 2′s are delightful, easy to use, much improved over the old Kindle (and we loved our two of those, also). The directions are straight forward; the design slim and easier to use; the images great; downloading our content was simple. We’re very pleased. AND, hearing a book read any time, any place – that’s so great. Thanks. A terrifically good buy.
