B&N bought FW to get a quick, pre-formatted inventory of books. When B&N bought FW, they also got the distribution rights to all the titles that were on the FW store. This allowed B&N to open their book store without having to create partnerships with all of the publishers separately.
It worked, but it's sad to see FW decimated. The loss of Micropay rebates also put a damper on my shopping there.
