According to Macworld, Barnes and Noble will offer free Wi-Fi via AT&T, which was previously a subscription service when it was launched in 2005. As part of the Wi-Fi offering, Barnes & Noble customers can opt-in to receive coupons to the in-store cafe, notices on author book signings and other messages when the customer logs in to the Wi-Fi service. In addition, Barnes & Noble has recently launched an e-book store and plans to produce an e-book device in order to compete with Amazon's Kindle. It's currently offering 700,000 titles, which also includes Google's 500,000 free public domain books as part of that number. The Barnes & Noble e-book store will offer new releases and bestsellers at $9.99.
