Yipee indeed, so how much was your secret discount, care to share
Sorry, it took me a minute to get back to the info. I ordered a book of VW's, called Moments Liberty....it's a compilation of all of her diaries, by Ann Bell. The price was $27.95, and I've put off buying it because I didn't want to spend the money....I saved $5.59 on that amount.
I decided to order The Help, on the other coupon. It's price was $8.97, and I got $1.35 off. I had to make two separate orders, to get the two coupon advantage, but that's okay with me.

I am a little disappointed. B&N needs to indicate on their advertising in LARGE TYPE that Nookbooks are not included in coupon offerrings. You have to go find the fine print to discover that or wait till you have made the purchase and go back and read the fine print to find out why you did not get the discount.
They want us to use our Nooks and buy nookbooks, paying full book price, like hardcopy, why should we not also receive the same benefits as other customers?

Mountain Muse,
In spite of how other people may feel, I completely agree with you. Discounts never seem to apply to nook books, we can barely lend them out (once, for two weeks) and they can cost just about as much as a traditional book. More, if you count the used book market. That is my biggest beef with B&N, and it is driving many people to places, like kobo, that do have the occasional discount coupon. I know, a lot of it is publisher-driven, but one day they are going to have to recognize that this market will only keep growing if they price their books right. Even amazon allows a week to return a kindle book - why hasn't B&N stepped up their efforts to make their edivision more friendly??
I'll step off of my soapbox now....
Elaine
