Konrath was, iirc, the first person to sign a book with Encore that wasn't an "encore", i.e., previously sold at B&N nook store and then pulled.

This is a very serious problem for consumers. B&N is right to push back against it.
The lion's share of the blame here goes to the authors who take the bait.

Time to boycott these authors.
