Interesting interview. Two aspects that really stood out for me was;
- Focus on global marketplace, not local. Probably B&N's biggest downfall, and given their current situation I doubt they could raise the funds to expand globally. - Agency pricing does exist in some countries. Amazes me how much they have grown in the 3 years they have been around. I wonder how long (if at all) before they start selling other digital content ie:movies, tv series and such like Amazon. |
