Our local B&N store hasn't had Nook's on display for over a year....so even if you're in the store and maybe thinking about an e-reader, you wouldn't even know they sold any unless you went to their website by chance.

Very very odd strategy
Agreed. It's weird. They have them behind the main counter and you have to ask to see them (if you know to ask). Almost like they're ashamed of them. Very strange way to sell anything.

Same experience here. And half the time the Nooks weren't plugged in. If you could find whoever was supposed to run the information counter, they usually couldn't answer your questions anyhow. Far cry from the big Nook kiosk that used to greet you as you walked in the front door.
