How many more nails does Fictionwise need? I used to buy up to 20 ebooks a month from Fictionwise but that began declining once B&N took over and micropay disappeared. I haven't bought a book -- or even looked at its website -- from Fictionwise in months.
I think the merger of Borders and B&N would be good. Borders has always been very poorly managed (I used to work for its former Waldenbooks division) in comparison to B&N, which has conssitently been a step behind, management-wise, from Amazon.
Ultimately, I think you will see a merger of the Borders, B&N, Sony, and Kobo ebookstores into a single ebookstore that will be able to compete against Amazon. When that merger occurs, I expect to see Kobo's management in charge.
