I think that the end of the conspiracy opens the door to creative marketing and pricing schemes; loyalty programs, bundles, coupons, flash sales, and *deep* B&M/ebook ties.
Now, I'm not saying B&N isn't skating on this ice; they are and I've been saying it for months now. But they have a lot of resources that the golden handcuffs of the price fix scam didn't let them use.

That sounds really nice but a lot of those resources are going to be tied up defending against Amazon price war discounts. THAT"s real world. Oh, and Nook development money? That'll be tied up too.
Note that business investors- the kind of folk who bet big money on things like this -don't share your rosy view of BN's prospects.
The funny thing is that when the Nook tablet refresh doesn't arrive next year, people will be wondering why....
