Essentially, BN is not going to be losing business to those stores and BN knows that. It is like telling folks that you are free to shop from our fully stocked grocery store and hey, its ok to bring in stuff from the store next door. The one where the shelves are half empty and everything is over priced.

It looks nice but really, there is not much there. BN looks magnanimous and still makes money from the sales of its ebooks.

I shop at Kobo a heck of alot more than I shop at Barnes and Noble. BN is nice and convienant but when I'm planted at home I'm an avid shop around and Kobos coupons are the best.
