I took my wife to the store for coffee and nook reading time yesterday (Yes, we both have a nook and share the B&N account). My wife had some trouble figuring out she had to scroll down to the bottom box before using the d-pad to select the free stuff. She pulled down a few items, and commented - "Seems kinda light". One she was curious about was the "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" entry but neither of our nooks could "buy" it. Each time we tried we'd get a "Can't Connect" error but the other titles worked. Both of us grabbed a couple of short reads on the Oscars.

Some weeks they have better content than others, and we'll keep you up to date when any "Killer" items appear (no, I don't mean murder stories - just good deals).

The B&N website with the latest "More in Store" deals can be found here in case you want to check them all out before you stop in the store.

I was too late on the Alice deal. Went in Saturday but it was not avail. Everything else that week was not for me.

Now if Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is out I will head back but the link to this weeks deals only mentions an interview and not the book.

Also for those getting the "network unavailable" message. I got that too before they rolled out the updates to my B&N. So hopefully yours will have it soon. I was able to download last week so my store finally got the feature added.

But honestly do not expect to go very often. The free books are definitely geared towards the mass market and my reading choices are out in right field.

Also never seen the free cookie either.

Quoting John:

Mark, just for clarification, were you actually trying to buy "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" or is that offered for free this week?

Thanks.

I just checked the "More In Store" deals at the local B&N. The P&P&Z ebook is *not* a freebee offer.

While More in Store is available in most B&N stores free content is not. Have been x2 to Fullerton, CA store, immediately connect but when I attempt to "buy" free content I get "Network Unavailable" message. Found out store demo gets same message. Store manager called cs & was told this feature is not universally available.

I'm with peacelovemath. I picked up Alice in Wonderland too. But, I didn't realize at first that I *could* select the box at the bottom, nor that I could scroll pages of "deals". Now I know though ... just haven't had a chance to get back to the store since buying my Nook almost two weeks ago.

I went to the store when Alice 's Adventures in Wonderland was free a couple weeks ago. It downloaded just fine, but I agree it took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to select the ad at the bottom of the screen to access it.
