B&N announced their purchase of Fictionwise on March 5, 2009.

Agency ebook pricing began Apr 1, 2010.

B&N bought Fictionwise (speculation) to get their software (the eReader pdb DRM), access to their ebook supply accounts, and to kill the competition.
I thought Fictionwise sold to B&N because of the agency pricing. Guess I was incorrect.
