That's an interesting suggestion. Barnes & Noble now carries an enormous number of niche and artisinal periodicals. I think they make their money off selling coffee. Maybe they will refuse to open an account with someone so small. But it would probably be worth asking. And if they do take you, post us, and we can do some strategic buying to puff up your profile.
