I don't fault Amazon for keeping the sales numbers to themselves. I fault em for trying to get the benefits of crowing about heir sales numbers without sharing the numbers. I am against giving Amazon that benefit, publicity, until they share the numbers.

I think it's great for B&N to tout their sales in the exact same way. We all know that the Nook sales are nowhere near Amazon's, but they can sure make it SOUND like they are doing the same thing Amazon does.

As a tech fan, I want to know the numbers just like I want to know the scores in the sports I follow. So it bugs me
