Barnes & Noble.com

Pros: Great prices, great service
Cons: Haven't run into many.

I usually buy all my books and magazines online.
I've ordered many many things from Barnes and Noble for a couple years I guess and I've loved BN.com.

First of all, the prices there are great. Sometimes Amazon.com will beat 'em out but...

Pros: easy use of site, secure checkout
Cons: No cons I enjoy shopping at this site.

I love to read. The only thing I miss about shopping on line instead of the store Barnes and Noble is there is no wonderful coffee smell. I've done some christmas shopping at this site for the last 2 years. I've never had a single problem. This site is...

Pros: well...there's a large selection of books...BUT...
Cons: I never received my orders and customer service was horrible.

As an avid reader I spend quite a bit of time in book stores. I frequent places such as Borders, Walden Books, B. Dalton and, of course, Barnes and Noble so much that people that work there usually remember me. In one case I was in my local B. Dalton...

Pros: Lots of books, good prices, easy to navigate, reliable service

I am an avid reader and I stumbled upon Barnes & Noble.com through Netflip.

The site is extremely easy to use. The search engine lets you search through book, ebooks, music, prints and posters, bargain books, magazines, DVD and Video and...

Pros: Very good selection, easy navigation, decent prices
Cons: They have certain discounts, but never seem to find their way to me...

This is my favorite online bookstore, next to Amazon. In my opinion, it's even better than the stores. First of all, the prices at the BN bookstores are more than they are online. Even if you go to the bookstore, you might have to order your books, at...

Pros: good selection, easy to order from, dependable delivery
Cons: not always the cheapest deal

What I like about the site:

Pros: comprehensive database, easy to order
Cons: you only get half your order, and bad customer service

My Mistake

Last semester I made the mistake of ordering my textbooks through BarnesAndNoble.com. I had never really had problems with online stores before. I had placed many orders through amazon.com before and never had any problems....

Pros: Barnes and Noble provides fast service and competitive prices.
Cons: Barnes and Noble's site is confusing for searching and returns.

One is prompted to order from Barnes and Noble over some of the other big book web sites because their pricing is very competitive--almost always they are a few bucks cheaper than the competition. In addition, Barnes and Noble often offers incentives to...

Pros: Wide selection of items, fast and easy
Cons: None that I'm aware of

There are a kazillion different online stores that allow you to purchase books, music, and gift items of all sorts. Barnes and Noble.com is just one of many, but it is undoubtedly this author's first choice.

For those of you who may not know,...

Pros: Great selection, good website presentation.
Cons: Not the cheapest price, shipping costs run high.

So far, I've bought books on both B&N and Amazon's websites. I like them both, and both have pros and cons over the other. I chose to write my review on B&N first instead of Amazon because of my positive experiences with finding more obscure titles and...

Pros: Cost and Selection
Cons: Minor search glitches

Would one call it literary irony that on the information super highway full of algorithms, binary code, HTML, and Java would be invaded by a virus known as paper and ink? Good...

Pros: Great selection. Free shipping when you buy 2 or more items. Hassle free shopping!
Cons: None.

I have been a regular shopper at Barnes and Noble online for over 2 years. The first time I shopped there was when they were giving coupons for $10 off of a $10 purchase with free shipping. I was immediately hooked. I have shopped at several other...

Pros: Speedy delivery. Always some kind of deal going on.
Cons: None, except for price I would check Half.com first

In fact, I have an order pending now. I usually orders CD's or books and they have always come in one piece. When I bought my PC almost two years ago now, this was the first on-line site that I made a purchase at. I would guess that I have ordered at...

Pros: Usually great selection, prices are reasonable and cheaper with Reader's Advantage program
Cons: Sometimes tracking info. not up to date

UPDATED Feb. 8, 2003
Barnes & Noble is still our families favorite bookstore, after all this time. Tonight my husband plunked down about $115 for various books. However, if we did not still belong to the Reader's Advantage program it would...
