I've heard that Amazon really wants the Big Publishers to provide them with digital files, and they'll POD book orders they get. The Big Publishers so far have been resisting, maybe because then there will be no way to know how many books are actually sold (a game the BPHs play with their authors, I understand).
The last time I was in a B&N store, all I saw was 50 shades being stressed. I bought a travel mug. I couldn't find any of the books I was looking for.
The last time I was in an indy bookstore, I was sneered at for reading romances.
If people at Amazon criticize my reading tastes, they don't do it to my face, so I don't mind.
