Are there any benefits...
There is no benefit to having a NOOK over a Kindle eReader, even if the B&N is 5 minutes from you. The only benefit would be if you decide to sign up for a Barnes & Noble membership (there are 2 tiers: free and $40 paid) to earn stamps. You get 1 stamp for every $10 PRE-TAX spent on B&N items. When
