Does B&N (Barnes & Noble) charge immediately when you pre-order a book?

Does B&N (Barnes & Noble) charge you immediately when you pre-order a book online? I'm trying to pre-order the new "Safe Haven" by Nicholas Sparks in Paperback Edition, since I don't like hardcovers, and I don't have enough money on my account. Do they charge me right on the spot? Or when the shipping process occurs?

Does Barnes and Noble get books earlier than Amazon?


I've been wanting to pre-order a book for a while, but Amazon keeps changing its release date. The book in question is "Mr. Burns and Other Plays" by Anne Washburn. I could buy "Mr. Burns: a Post-Electric Play" on its own, but this collection includes Anne Washburn's other plays, some of which are quite rare, so it's a much better deal. Originally I believe it was supposed to release in December 2016, then it changed to March 1st 2016. It had stayed that way for a while, so I thought that was the definitive release date, but I check it today and now it's pushed back to May 17th according to Amazon which is much too late because I have to read it before the end of this semester. Barnes and Noble and Books a Million still list it as shipping on March 1st however so I'm considering buying it from one of those sites unless they're releasing it in May too and just haven't changed the date yet.

Here are the links to the separate listings for proof

How to train a puppy?


I just got an 11-week old Japanese Spitz today and I was wondering how to train him.
Should I start crate training?
How does crate training work.
We haven t bought a crate yet but I ve been trying to teach him how to sit and I tried before.
I got his attention and held the treat over his head and slowly moved it back so he would sit instead he got angry and started barking.
Is he not ready to learn tricks/obedience?
My mum says I should take him out to poop but he hates his collar and leash.
Do I let him poop inside the crate? Or is it only for peeing (pee pads)
Thanks in advance!
Any other helpful tips would be great too
Added (1). Our backyard is fenced but its also got a lot of trees, bushes nooks and crannies so my mums afraid ill lose him or not be able to catch him…
Usually when I ignore him he ends up getting angry and barking.
Im trying to teach him not to bite by yelping like a dog so it seems like im in pain, it worked for a bit before but now he just growls and keeps going.

How long does the Nook Simple Touch battery last?

I have a new Nook I've never used and I want to give it to a relative to take on a trip. How long will the battery last? If not as many as 12 days, then I need to buy her a plug, I think. Unless it won't work overseas, anyway.

Does anyone know how many hours it will last? Does turning the Nook off make the battery charge last longer (is it possible to turn the Nook off?)?
