Except I think BN is in a better position compared to Google when it comes to ebooks (both only sell in the US currently, anyway). The Nook and presence of BN brick and mortar stores have brought ereaders to folks who don't like buying stuff over the internet. Much like most people who purchase the Kindle buy ebooks from Amazon, I reckon most folks who got the Nook buy ebooks from Barnes and Noble despite BN supporting other stores for DRM'ed content.

Yeah, Google has their free library which is probably very popular (in the US at least) but I doubt a lot of people purchase ebooks from Google Play (nee Google Books).
