Barnes and nobles website is their online presense of their brick and mortar store obviously. As I understand it they used to be in bed with another online company to sell books for them, but now are doing things themselves. I have purchased from there once.

The look and navigation of he wesite is very simply and like some of the other online retailers that are their major competitors no big difference there. They have a great selection of books, dvds, music toys and the like that you would find at a store like this. They also sell textbooks ( i found in college ordering books online could save you lots of money. I would then sell the book back to the bookstore and usually get half of what it was new, which is about what I paid for it. You could say some of my books that the sholarship did not cover were free in that case. Even made a profit sometimes)

Ordering is very simple register, put in your cart check out and there you go. They do have free shipping available and they items get to you fairly fast. Forget talking to someone on the phone. Maybye someone else had better luck but I did not.

They have two prices one for members and one for non-members. A membership is $25 a year and I really do not think that it is worth it. The prices at their competitors are much lower even with the membership bought from barnesandnoble.com. I think that membership is such a rip off it is pathetic. There is a much better competitor that I have reviewed that stars with and A. Now I love to shop there in person. Love the smell of the coffee bar.
