A nook without the wait?

So you want a nook but don’t want to wait until February 1st for it to ship to you? Well, you definitely aren’t alone. However, there is some hope for you to get a nook before February, and we’re not talking about Ebay. If you live near a Barnes & Noble store, there might be a nook waiting there for you to purchase. Some people, but not many, are taking their nooks back to their storefront vacation home. We guess that those who ordered nooks early on had some buyer’s remorse, or those who received them just aren’t feeling the digital book vibe. This is good news for you, though, nook-seeker. Fortunately, Barnes & Noble stores that take back unopened nooks can resell them to their in-person customers. There is no discount on them, because they’re in brand-new condition, but they’re available “right now” as opposed to “in the future,” and that’s definitely good news. As for the nooks that come back opened, those customers are charged a restocking fee and the opened nook is shipped back to the Barnes & Noble warehouse. We’re going to guess these opened models will be used to replace any defective ones that are returned, but no official word on that has been given yet.
