Barnes & Noble isn't modest in kicking off the giveaway, either -- the inaugural deal is OfficeSuite Professional 7, which would normally carry a $15 price tag. Although the bargains might not be enough to trigger switches for those well-entrenched in Amazon's world, they could well stop any wandering eyes among Nook owners.

OK reading this blog made me go back and buy Wickedly charming on Barnes and Noble. I agree with you when I am looking for something to read I start with my favorite authors of which you are definitely one. Then I go to B & N free nook books then b & N nook books under $5. After I read a book I make sure I rate and write a review of the book on b & n website. I think that for those looking for something new to read if no one has done that before you makes it harder to decide if you want to try the book. I discovered the Retrieval Artist series at Thanksgiving and have read all titles in the series at this point. Right now I am reading your book Traitors then I have Wickedly Charming and Fey:Destiny waiting to be read. I also agree that I prefer the series read over just a stand alone book. I tend to go through the whole series before I will go back to look through my list of favorite authors and I put on my nook wish list the titles coming up so that I do not miss the next book in the series.I do not know if my behavior is typical of the e book reader or not but this is what I do.
WRT nook, it might be their user unfrienliness. I tried getting a book some weeks ago and ended up filtering their mails as spam. I still receive more mails from them than from my other 5 e-bookstores combined. 2ff7e9595c
