<P align="left"><FONT size="2">The following Q&amp;A was distributed on January 8, 2004 by barnesandnoble.com
inc. to its employees regarding questions and answers relating to the
proposed acquisition of barnesandnoble.com inc. by Barnes &amp; Noble, Inc.  The merger
agreement relating to the proposed acquisition was filed by barnesandnoble.com inc.
under cover of Form&nbsp;8-K on January&nbsp;8, 2004 and is incorporated herein by
reference.

</FONT>


<P align="center"><FONT size="2"><B>QUESTIONS &#038; ANSWERS</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Does this announcement mean that the deal is definitely going to occur?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;The merger is subject to regulatory approvals. How it works is that
documents are filed, and reviewed/approved by the appropriate regulatory
agencies. This process can take several weeks and possibly a few months to
complete. In any merger, there is always a possibility that the deal will not
occur or that the deal terms can change prior to closing; so, while we are
confident that we will receive the necessary approvals on the proposed terms,
there is no guaranty that this will be the case.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>When will the merger be completed?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;As noted in the press release, we expect it will close no later early
second quarter 2004, but more likely sometime in the next 90&nbsp;days, again, all
subject to our receiving the necessary approvals.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Will Barnes &#038; Noble.com be a public company when the deal is closed?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;No, Barnes &#038; Noble.com will become a subsidiary of Barnes &#038; Noble, Inc.
that is a public company that trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol BKS. While we will be tracking the financial performance of bn.com
internally, all externally reported financial results for bn.com will be
included in the consolidated Barnes &#038; Noble Inc. financial
statements.</FONT>







<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>How does this affect day-to-day operations of bn.com?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;On a day-to-day basis, we expect this transaction will create very little
change in the day-to-day operations of bn.com.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Are my stock options vested?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;Any options issued prior to Sept 30, 2003 are vested. Options issued after
Sept 30th will vest upon completion of the merger.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Can I exercise my vested options before the deal closes?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, you may, and can call our plan administrator, Smith Barney at
1-800-367-4777 to do so. Remember, that only options that are &#147;in-the money&#148;
(have a issue price less than the price you sell them for) have value. Options
exercises done through Smith

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q&#038;A<BR>
Page 2</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Barney prior to deal closing will incur their standard brokerage commissions.
Note: You are always subject to applicable securities laws and insider trading
regulations whenever you execute a securities transaction.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>What happens to my options that have an issue price higher than the $3.05?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;Those options will expire with no value upon completion of the deal.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Can I wait until the deal closes, and exercise my options at $3.05?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming that the deal terms do not change, and that the necessary
approvals are received, then all &#147;in the money&#148; options will be cashed out at
closing, and you will receive the proceeds, net of options costs and
withholding taxes. There will be no brokerage commissions charged if you
cash out your options at closing. More details will be provided on this
method, as we get closer to completion.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Q: </B>&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Do my options have value after the deal is done?</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">A: &nbsp;&nbsp;No, all bn.com &#147;in the money&#148; options will be cashed out upon closing;
those options not &#147;in the money&#148; will expire with no value.
