Ingram, of course, is sticking with Borders so far, even though publisher return is now officially suspended (Ingram is Border's biggest supplier and the company has a vested interest in B&M). But Ingram, of course, is the planet's biggest distributor -- not a publisher.
My own indie house has decided to stand by the Ingram decision and leave our catalogue in place, but other publishers are deserting like rats from a sinking ship. I don't know how this will affect Ingram itself because most publishers are Ingram clients.
It's an odd state of affairs. I'll update as soon as there's something concrete to report.
Cheers. Neil
