<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B>BARNES &#038; NOBLE.COM AGREES TO<BR>
GOING PRIVATE TRANSACTION AT $3.05 PER SHARE</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>NEW YORK, NY </B>(January&nbsp;8, 2004) &#151; Barnes &#038; Noble.com (NASDAQ: BNBN) announced
today that it has signed a definitive merger agreement with Barnes &#038; Noble,
Inc. (NYSE: BKS). Under the terms of the merger, the holders of Barnes &#038;
Noble.com outstanding common stock, other than Barnes &#038; Noble, B&#038;N.com Holding
Corp. and their respective subsidiaries, will receive $3.05 per share in cash
for their shares, and Barnes &#038; Noble.com will become a privately held company,
wholly owned by Barnes &#038; Noble. The aggregate consideration payable in the
merger (including consideration in respect of &#147;in-the-money&#148; options) would be
approximately $150&nbsp;million, which places the total equity value of Barnes &#038;
Noble.com at approximately $513&nbsp;million.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of
Barnes &#038; Noble.com, following the unanimous recommendation of a special
committee of independent directors of the board. During the course of its
deliberations, the special committee has been advised by Dewey Ballantine LLP
as legal advisor and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC as financial advisor.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Barnes &#038; Noble.com also announced today that, in connection with entering into
the merger agreement, the shareholder lawsuits previously filed against Barnes
&#038; Noble.com and Barnes &#038; Noble with respect to the proposed merger have been
settled, subject to customary conditions, including court approval.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The closing of the merger is expected in late first quarter or early second
quarter of fiscal 2004, with the exact timing dependent on the review and
clearance of necessary filings by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
&#147;SEC&#148;). Barnes &#038; Noble.com will file proxy materials with the SEC for a
special meeting of stockholders to vote on the proposed merger. Barnes &#038;
Noble, which controls approximately 96.6% of the voting power of Barnes &#038;
Noble.com, has committed to vote in favor of the merger.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The announcement of the merger agreement described above is neither a
solicitation of a proxy, an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to
sell shares to Barnes &#038; Noble.com. Barnes &#038; Noble.com intends to file and
deliver all forms, proxy statements, notices and documents required under state
and federal law regarding the proposed acquisition. Barnes &#038; Noble.com will be
filing preliminary proxy materials with the SEC for the special meeting of
stockholders to be held to vote on the proposed merger. Upon satisfactory
completion of the SEC&#146;s review</FONT>

Barnes &#038; Noble.com will call a special meeting of its stockholders to
vote on the merger and will file with the SEC and mail to Barnes &#038; Noble.com&#146;s
stockholders definitive proxy materials. Before making any voting or
investment decisions, investors and security holders of Barnes &#038; Noble.com are
urged to read the definitive proxy materials regarding the acquisition
carefully in their entirety, when they become available, because they will

respect of the merger. Copies of the definitive proxy materials and any
