I was not aware of the timing of your decision. What method did you use to publish before the recent announcement?

B&N is not reprehensible for refusing to help Amazon muscle their Nook store out of business. You think you'd end up with MORE choice if B&N helped Amazon Encore look like a super-fabulous-fun thing and all indie authors joined Amazon Encore? (Hope you like buying Kindles in your reprehensible-free future, then!)
Also, as a Nook owner, I would be highly disappointed if B&N helped to make Amazon Encore seem like the best thing ever for indie authors. I mean, way to thumb your nose at your customer base.

What I think is that B&N, instead of coming up with its own publishing solution for indie authors, is acting like a spoiled child, taking its ball and going home. It looks to me like they're missing an opportunity here.
I also think that most Nook owners (of which I am sort of one, having the Nook app on my iPhone and Kindle Fire [!]) wouldn't give a tinker's d*mn who published something as long as they could get it on their Nook.
