I love the fact that the latest email offer from B&N shows a girl sitting at the beach in the blazing sunshine, no sunglasses looking at the B&N website ON HER LAPTOP!
Forget the nook, just use the app.
Or maybe, since the coupon doesn't apply to nook and ebooks, they don't want to give the wrong idea.
It works for nook accessories... The covers that have arrived beginning with the
Jonathan Adler Peace / Love Case and the lights in color
Lyra Light in Marine will all work with this discount code.
I tested it with this one
Lilly Pulitzer Secret Garden Cover and it discounts it $7.50.

I understand (and support) the use of branding across platforms, but they could have made it much simpler. Adding an extra word after nook (much like they did for nookStudy) would have made this painless (nookMobile, nookReader, nookLite, whatever).
Incidentally, calling it a "nook e-book reader" can get interesting if you say it quickly.
After looking at this other thread, I can't help but be amused by that hypothetical corporate thinker's assumption that they actually have some control over what the man or woman in the street is going to call their product (especially with such fine distinctions as NOOK or nook or The Nook or .....) 
Note to all,
B&N is no longer supporting the B&N ereader application. They are forcing the nook app on us all.
I went to download a new book I bought yesterday to my B&N ereader on my iPod and I couldn't get the app to download it. After trying several geek tricks I was forced to call B&N tech support, well the support group couldn't get it to work either. I told them that it wouldn't even let me sign in.
I asked if they are still supporting the B&N ereader now that nook is out and they couldn't answer my question. I asked them what kind of tech support group was this, they had no answers for any of the issues I questioned. Finally I spoke to a supervisor and asked if they were no longer supporting the ereader app and he said yes, they are only supporting and allowing the nook application to download newly purchased books.
I asked if there was another reader I could use and told them how much I HATE the nook app, due to it constantly crashing (not to mention other issues) and they said no, because of their apb format you can only read on nook.
NOT true, you can add all of your books to the Stanza ereader and read them just fine. You can customize it any way you choose and it run great!!! It will ask you the first time to put in the credit card info you used to purchase the book, it won't charge you twice, just the original purchase you made through B&N. So there nook, this is one person who will not be forced to use this crappy app.
