I don't have a dog in this fight, but can anyone actually confirm if this is still true? When B&N launched, they didn't have Amazon's catalog, of course, but I think a lot of that has changed.
I personally have never wanted a book that was only available at Amazon, and I've never seen an exclusive-to-Amazon result on, say, Inkmesh. But I could be looking for the 'wrong' books.
Certainly I would very much doubt that B&N + Kobo + Sony does not equal the bulk (say, 90%?) of Amazon's stock.
Of course, there might be small indie authors that have only bothered to publish a Kindle version, but other than that, I think the major publishers are dealing with all of the "Big Four", no?
