Now she can go to the local B&N and try the Nook before she buys it. Maybe she will finally be able to appreciate electronic books. Mark my words….this one line will change everything:

Great way to get people into the stores rather than just browsing online. Now to see what the DRM is like and how much the ebooks cost. From everything listed here, this sounds like it will have a lot of benefits. The idea of "lending" a book is great. It sounds like they may have learned quite a bit over the last couple of years and I'm hoping this is all it's cracked up to be. Definitely going to keep my eye out for this and consider saving up. :) The in-store browse idea is actually pretty cool. Great way to get people into the stores rather than just browsing online.
